Preferred Label : Anthocyanin-rich Corn Extract;
NCIt definition : A corn-based, water-soluble extract rich in the polyphenol anthocyanin, with potential
antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and chemoprotective activities. Upon administration
of the anthocyanin-rich corn extract, the anthocyanins scavenge reactive oxygen species
(ROS), which protects healthy cells from radiation-induced oxidative stress and DNA
damage. In addition, anthocyanins modulate the expression of various genes and proteins
involved in inflammation, tumor cell proliferation, angiogenesis, tumor cell invasion
and differentiation. This agent also chelates metals and induces the expression of
enzymes involved in Phase II antioxidant and detoxification pathways, which may further
protect cells against oxidative stress induced by toxins and carcinogens.;
