Chemical Constituents of Thai Citrus hystrix and Their Antiausterity Activity against the PANC-1 Human Pancreatic Cancer Cell Line

Human pancreatic cancer cells have an extreme tolerance to nutrition starvation, enabling them to survive in a hypovascular tumor microenvironment. Searching for agents that preferentially inhibit cancer cell viability under nutrition starvation conditions is a novel antiausterity strategy in anticancer drug discovery. In the present study, a hexane extract of the peels of Citrus hystrix fruits showed preferential cytotoxicity against PANC-1...
