Furthermore, resveratrol has been reported to demonstrate chemopreventive activity against the development of different types of cancer, at all three stages of carcinogenesis (initiation, promotion, and progression).79,80 Several studies also reported that resveratrol inhibits the expression of CYP1B1 in cancer cell lines of different tissue origin thus confirming the cancer chemopreventive activity of this compound.81 In 2009, Sudheer et al., presented the mechanism of resveratrol's inhibitory activity toward CYP1B1 induction. The gene discussed is CYP1B1; the disease is cancer.
