• Description: 5-Deoxy-L-arabonic acid 1,4-lactone is a phytochemical present in the flowers of some plants. It has been shown to have anti-cancer properties in lung cancer cells by inhibiting the growth of these cells. 5-Deoxy-L-arabonic acid 1,4-lactone inhibits cell division and induces apoptosis by binding to DNA, preventing replication. This compound also inhibits the production of prostaglandins that promote inflammation, which may be related to its anti-cancer effects. 5-Deoxy-L-arabonic acid 1,4-lactone has been shown to inhibit the production of phenolic compounds such as vanillic acid and apigenin in lung cancer cell lines. These compounds have been shown to have chemopreventive activities against various cancers including breast cancer and colon cancer.
