Background

Vitamin C (CAS 50-81-7) is a water-soluble vitamin studied extensively in biomedical contexts for its potential anticancer and antiviral activities. Mechanistically, vitamin C exerts antiproliferative effects on tumor cells and promotes apoptosis, as demonstrated in murine colon cancer (CT26) cells. At concentrations of 100-200 μg/ml, vitamin C inhibited proliferation significantly; higher levels (200-1000 μg/ml) induced apoptosis dose-dependently. In vivo studies showed vitamin C treatment reduced tumor volume markedly in CT26 and 4T1 tumor-bearing BALB/c mouse models. These findings highlight vitamin C's utility in cancer research as a therapeutic adjunct and investigational agent.
