Abstract
The antiproliferative effects of melatonin and CGP 52608, an exogenous ligand for RZR/ROR receptors, are compared in the present paper. Both compounds exerted similar inhibitory effects on the proliferation of neoplastic cells in mouse colonic adenocarcinoma, DU 145 human prostate cancer, MCF-7 human breast carcinoma, and rat diethylstilbestrol-induced prolactinoma. Although it has been suggested that melatonin may influence the proliferation of tumor cells via RZR/ROR receptors, it cannot be excluded that the antiproliferative effects of melatonin and CGP 52608 are unrelated and mediated by different intracellular mechanisms.
