Among these, δ-Cadinene showed promising apoptotic activity through the growth retardation of ovarian cancer (OVCAR-3) cells via caspase-dependent apoptosis and cell-cycle arrest [34], and the di-n-octyl phthalate showed antitumor activity via the inhibition of tumor-necrosis-factor production [35]. This evidence concerns the gene TNF and ovarian carcinoma.
