Geranylated 4-phenylcoumarins DMDP-1 and DMDP-2 isolated from Mesua elegans were elucidated for their role in inducing caspase-independent programmed cell death (CI-PCD) in prostate cancer cell lines, PC-3 and DU 145, respectively. Cell homeostasis disruption was demonstrated upon treatment, as show...
