Abstract This study investigates if the anti-tumor effect of Pterostilbene in the SKOV3 ovarian cancer (OC) cell line involves
inhibition of cell metabolism and tested in this effect involves modulating AMPK and Akt-induced regulation of mTORC1.
Initially, SKOV3 cells were cultured in the humidified conditions in DMEM media for 24 h with or without increasing
concentration of Pterostilbene. Then, the cells were incubated with Pterostilbene (IC50 = 50 µM) under similar conditions
with or without pre-incubation with Dorsomorphin, an AMPK inhibitor. In a dose-dependent manner, Pterostilbene
inhibited SKOV3 cell survival and increased their lysate levels of lactate… More >
