Hexylresorcinol (4-Hexylresorcinol) is a substituted dihydroxybenzene utilized topically as an antiseptic for minor skin infection treatment.

Silymarin is a natural polyphenolic flavonolignan mixture extracted from the seeds of Silybum marianum. It can inhibit tumor cell proliferation and angiogenesis, and improve insulin resistance, thus being widely used in liver disease-related research and adjuvant applications. Studies have shown that silymarin exhibits inhibitory activity against the SARS-CoV-2 main protease, and it has potential research value in the mechanism-related studies of COVID-19.

β-Damascone are a series of closely related chemical compounds that are components of a variety of essential oils. The damascones belong to a family of chemicals known as rose ketones, which also includes damascenones and ionones. beta-Damascone is a contributor to the aroma of roses, despite its relatively low concentration, and is an important fragrance chemical used in perfumery.

3-Phenylpropyl isothiocyanate exhibits a potent inhibitory effect on N-nitrosomethyl-benzylamine (NMBA) tumorigenesis, thereby displaying strong chemopreventive properties [1] [2].

L-SelenoMethionine (L-(+)-Selenomethionine) is a naturally occurring amino acid. It promotes cell cycle progression and elevates the expression of the antioxidant enzymes thioredoxin reductase, glutathione reductase.

Se-Methylselenocysteine (Se-MSC) is a potent chemopreventive agent in many test systems and has been shown to inhibit tumor promotion and induce apoptosis.

3,29-O-Dibenzoyloxykarounidiol is a natural product with regulate blood sugar level, has potent inhibitory effects on Epstein-Barr virus early antigen (EBV-EA) induced by tumor promoter 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA).

Murrayone, a coumarin-containing compound derived from M. paniculata, stands out as the most bioactive substance within this species, primarily due to its unique pharmacological attributes that notably suppress cancer metastasis, positioning it as an effective chemopreventive agent.

Resveratrol (SRT 501) is a polyphenolic natural product, a plant antitoxin with antioxidant and chemopreventive activities. Resveratrol has a wide range of targets including COX, SIRT, LOC, etc. Resveratrol induces autophagy and apoptosis.

Oltipraz (RP 35972) is a synthetic dithiolethione with potential chemopreventive and anti-angiogenic properties. Oltipraz induces phase II detoxification enzymes, such as glutathione S transferase (GST) and NAD(P)H: quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1). The induction of detoxification enzymes enhances the detoxification of certain cancer-causing agents, thereby enhancing their elimination and preventing carcinogen-induced DNA damages. Although the exact mechanism through which the anti-angiogenesis effect remains to be fully elucidated, oltipraz maybe able to modulate the expression of a number of angiogenic factors, thereby blocking the sustained and focal neovascularization in multiple tumor cell types.

Retinyl palmitate (Vitamin A palmitate) is a naturally-occurring phenyl analogue of retinol, with potential antineoplastic and chemopreventive activities.

Benzyl isothiocyanate (Benzoylthiocarbimide) (BITC) is an isothiocyanate originally found in cruciferous vegetables. It shows immunomodulatory, anti-parasitic, antibiotic, antioxidative, anti-atherosclerotic, anti-angiogenic, anti-metastatic, anticancer chemotherapeutic, and chemopreventive activities.

β-Carotene (Provitamin A) is a naturally-occurring retinol (vitamin A) precursor obtained from certain fruits and vegetables with potential antineoplastic and chemopreventive activities. As an anti-oxidant, beta carotene inhibits free-radical damage to DNA.

Xanthohumol, also known as 2', 4, 4'-trihydroxy-6'-methoxy-3'-prenylchalcone or desmethylxanthohumol, is a member of the class of compounds known as 3-prenylated chalcones. It inhibits COX-1 and COX-2 activity and shows chemopreventive effects.

Glabridin (KB-289522) may serve as an anti-inflammatory agent in diabetes-related vascular dysfunction, through regulating the synthesis and activity of iNOS under high-glucose levels; may possess a therapeutic effect on metabolic disorders( such as diabetes and hyperglycemia), by modulating glucose metabolism through AMPK in skeletal muscle cells. Glabridin may have potential as a chemopreventive agent against liver Y metastasis, by inhibiting the invasion of human HCC cells.

HDAC-IN-5 is a histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor [inducing apoptosis, with potential antineoplastic (antitumor) and chemopreventive activities], inhibiting cell proliferation and regulating cell differentiation (IC50=0.0056 µM, 72 h) in murine erythroleukemia cells.

CDDO-2P-Im shows chemopreventive effect and reduces the size and severity of the lung tumors in the mouse lung cancer model.

CDDO-3P-Im is an orally active inhibitor of necroptosis with chemopreventive effects. CDDO-3P-Im can be used in studies about ischemia/reperfusion.

Fenretinide (4-HPR) is an orally-active synthetic retinoid derivative with potential antineoplastic and chemopreventive activities.

Phytoene possesses potential antioxidant, chemopreventive, and anti-inflammatory properties.

Agamanone is an anticancer agent. It also has antioxidant and chemopreventive properties.

Avicenol A is a cancer chemopreventive agent.

Psoralidin inhibits Akt phosphorylation and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase activation and transcriptionally. Psoralidin possesses anticancer and chemopreventive properties.

Curdione ((+)-Curdione) inhibits CYP3A4 activity and the production of prostaglandin E2. Curdione inhibits proliferation of MCF-7 cells by inducing apoptosis. Curdione may be a candidate for anti-inflammatory and Y chemopreventive agents.
