title: QSAR of apoptosis induction in various cancer cells.
abstract: In continuing our QSAR study of apoptosis, we consider in this report the action of phenolic compounds on Ramos cells (non-Hodgkins B-cell lymphoma): the effect of O-8-thapsigargin analogues on human prostate cancer cells, Tsu-Pr-1 and the induction of apoptosis of a complex set of congeners on human fibrosarcoma cells HT 1080. The human prostate cancer cells activity is very similar to that of the Ramos cells. While the QSAR for the fibrosarcoma cells resembles that of our earlier study with L1210 leukemia cells. The two different types of QSAR suggest at least two quite different types of receptors for the induction of apoptosis.
