Pregnenolone and Cancer

In addition to its already potent neuroprotective properties, pregnenolone might also be able to combat certain types of cancer. There is strong scientific evidence that supports the cancer-fighting properties of pregnenolone:
1. Pregnenolone kills tumors in the central nervous system by activating programmed cell death (apoptosis). [107]
2. Oximes, hydazones, and pyrazoles derivatives of pregnenolone appear to have potent anti-cancer properties. [108]
3. The addition of pregnenolone enhances the anticancer properties of titanocene dichloride, a chemotherapeutic drug. [109]
