| Vitamin like substance. Found in cereals, nuts and legumes. Inositol hexaphosphate (IP6) is a dietary component that constitutes approximately 1 to 5% of the weight of most cereals, nuts, oil seeds, legumes, and grains [1, 2]. In particular, approximately 9.5 to 14.5% of the weight of rice bran is composed of IP6. • Antioxidant Activity – IP6 can chelate metal ions and scavenge free radicals, thereby reducing oxidative stress and preventing DNA damage that could initiate or promote cancer. • Modulation of Signal Transduction Pathways – IP6 influences key pathways such as PI3K/Akt and MAPK, which are involved in cell survival, growth, and proliferation. Its modulation can lead to reduced cell proliferation and enhanced apoptotic signaling. • Induction of Apoptosis – By activating pro-apoptotic factors and suppressing anti-apoptotic proteins, IP6 promotes programmed cell death in cancer cells. • Cell Cycle Arrest – IP6 has been shown to interfere with cell cycle progression, particularly by regulating cyclin-dependent kinases. This arrest can prevent the rapid and uncontrolled division of cancer cells. • Promotion of Cell Differentiation – IP6 may encourage malignant cells to differentiate into more normal cell types, which typically have reduced proliferative abilities and lower tumorigenic potential. • Inhibition of Angiogenesis – By disrupting the signals needed for new blood vessel formation, IP6 can limit the tumor’s blood supply, thereby restricting tumor growth and metastasis. • Immune Modulation – Some studies suggest that IP6 may enhance the immune response against tumors, contributing to its overall anti-cancer activity. |

| Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) is an enzyme that plays a critical role in the conversion of arachidonic acid to prostaglandins, which are lipid compounds involved in various physiological processes, including inflammation, pain, and fever. COX-2 is an inducible enzyme, meaning its expression is typically low in normal tissues but can be upregulated in response to inflammatory stimuli, growth factors, and certain oncogenic signals. -Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), the rate-limiting enzyme in prostaglandin biosynthesis, plays a key role in inflammation and circulatory homeostasis. -COX-2 is an inducible enzyme that is upregulated in response to pro-inflammatory signals, including cytokines (e.g., IL-1β, TNF-α) and growth factors. COX-2 is often overexpressed in various tumors, including colorectal, breast, lung, and prostate cancers. The prostaglandins produced by COX-2, particularly prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), have several effects that can facilitate cancer progression: Cell Proliferation: PGE2 can promote the proliferation of cancer cells by activating signaling pathways such as the PI3K/Akt and MAPK pathways. Nonselective NSAIDs, such as aspirin and ibuprofen, inhibit both COX-1 and COX-2. Epidemiological studies have suggested that regular use of NSAIDs may reduce the risk of certain cancers, particularly colorectal cancer. Drugs specifically targeting COX-2, such as celecoxib, have been developed. COX-2 and xanthine oxidase are ROS-producing pro-oxidant enzymes that contribute to inflammation. Elevated COX‑2 levels, often found in inflammatory conditions or certain types of cancers, can contribute to increased production of ROS. |
