Use of Grape Skin Extracts as AntiCancer Agents Description of Technology: The invention describes anti-tumor effects of extracts from grape skins. Grape skin extract and derivatives may therefore be useful as preventive or therapeutic agents against tumor development. Literature indicates that grape and red wine consumption may be inversely associated with prostate cancer risk. Moreover, to date there are no known grape skin extract-associated toxicities described. The current invention discloses that grape skin extract, or purified fractions thereof, inhibited metastatic growth in human prostate transformed cell lines. Specifically, grape skin extract induced cellular apoptosis via inhibition of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3-K)/ Akt survival pathway. Historically, anti-tumor effects of grapes were mainly attributed to resveratrol, a phytoalexin present in grapes, nuts and wild berries. However, resveratrol’s mechanism of anti-tumor action is distinct from that of grape skin extract, in that it arrests cell cycle division without significant induction of apoptosis. The current invention also provides for methods of treating patients with prostate cancer or persons at risk for developing prostate cancer with compositions that include grape skin extract or active anti-tumor fractions thereof. Development Status: Pre-clinical stage. Inventors: Tamaro Hudson and Jeffrey E. Green (NCI).
