Projects and Investigators

FY 2002 Projects

University of Leicester

Objective:
Preclinical development of the brown rice constituent tricin.

Program Description:
Investigators will conduct preclinical development of the brown rice constituent tricin as a cancer chemopreventive agent. The flavonoid tricin has been identified as a constituent of brown rice and rice bran. Preliminary studies have demonstrated biological properties in cells in vitro indicative of chemopreventive activity in vivo. RAPID support will include:
