Abstract | SCOPE: Glyceollins are a novel class of soybean phytoalexins with potential cancer-preventive and antiestrogenic effects. The angiogenic cascade during tumor development consists of the release of angiogenic factors and binding of angiogenic factors to receptors on endothelial cells to activate downstream signaling pathways. However, the potential medicinal value of glyceollins, especially in antiangiogenesis, remains unexplored. METHODS AND RESULTS: CONCLUSION: Thus, glyceollins, elicited ingredients of soy source, target the signaling pathways mediated by VEGF or bFGF, providing new perspectives into potential therapeutics for preventing and treating hypervascularized diseases including cancer.
