Resveratrol has aroused significant scientific interest as it has been claimed that it exhibits a spectrum of health benefits. These\ninclude effects as an anti-inflammatory and an antitumour compound.The purpose of this study was to investigate and compare\nany potential antigrowth effects of resveratrol and two of its derivatives, acetyl-resveratrol and polydatin, on 3D cell aggregates of\nthe EGFR/Her-2 positive and negative ovarian cancer cell lines SKOV-3 andOVCAR-8, respectively. Results showed that resveratrol\nand acetyl-resveratrol reduced cell growth in the SKOV-3 and OVCAR-8 in a dose-dependant manner.The growth reduction was\nmediated by the induction of apoptosis via the cleavage of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP-1). At lower concentrations, 5 and\n10
