Studies have shown the chemopreventive effects of alpha-santalol on chemically and UVB-induced skin cancer in mice. The objective of the present investigation was to find the lowest effective concentration of alpha-santalol for the chemopreventive effects on UVB-induced skin tumor development in mice and to determine antiperoxidant effect of alpha-santalol in order to elucidate its possible mechanism of action. Female SKH-1 mice were divided into different groups receiving either vehicle alone or different concentrations of alpha-santalol. Mice in all the groups were initiated and promoted with UVB radiation for skin tumor development. The promotion phase continued for 30 weeks. Skin tumors were counted once a week for 30 weeks. Lipid peroxidation was assayed in skin and liver microsomes by measuring malonaldehyde formed using thiobarbituric acid method. Topical administration of alpha-santalol reduced UVB-induced skin tumor development in a concentration-dependent manner. Application of alpha-santalol (5%) significantly (p < 0.05) delayed skin tumor development for 25 weeks and reduced tumor multiplicity. alpha-Santalol also inhibited in vitro lipid peroxidation in skin and liver microsomes. alpha-Santalol application prevents UVB-induced skin tumor development possibly by acting as an antiperoxidant.

D001205 Ascorbic Acid A six carbon compound related to glucose. It is found naturally in citrus fruits and many vegetables. Ascorbic acid is an essential nutrient in human diets, and necessary to maintain connective tissue and bone. Its biologically active form, vitamin C, functions as a reducing agent and coenzyme in several metabolic pathways. Vitamin C is considered an antioxidant.
