Introduction: Bombesin is a 14-aminoacid peptide isolated from frog skin. The mammalian counterparts of the frog peptide are neuromedin B (NMB) and gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP). Bombesin (BBN) is a peptide showing high affinity for the gastrin releasing peptide receptor (GRPr). Prostate, small cell lung cancer, breast, gastric, and colon cancers are known to over...

the objective of the study was to evaluate thecytotoxic effects of aqueous fruit extract of cucumis melo in human prostate cancer cell line (pc-3) using mttand neutral red assays. the crude aqueous extract of c.melo was prepared by cold maceration method, filtered,concentrated and tested on pc-3 cell line. dose-dependent cytotoxic activitieswere exhibited by human prostate carcinoma pc-3 cell l...
