Androgen-independent Effects of Serenoa repens Extract (Prostasan®) on Prostatic
Epithelial Cell Proliferation and Inflammation - Phytother Res. 2011 Jun 8 -
"Prostasan® inhibited epidermal growth factor (EGF) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)
induced proliferation of the prostatic epithelial, androgen independent cell
line PC-3. At effective concentrations of 50 µg/mL, Prostasan® partly displaced
EGF from EGF receptor (EGFR) but fully blocked EGF-induced cell proliferation of
PC-3 cells. Similarly, Prostasan® inhibited LPS-induced proliferation of PC-3
cells without affecting LPS activation of the NFĸB pathway via toll-like
receptor-4 (TLR-4). Additionally, Prostasan® reduced the constitutive secretion
of monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1), the LPS-induced secretion of IL-12
and inhibited MCP-1 and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor
(GM-CSF) production in the presence of LPS on PC-3 cells. Taken together, our
results suggest that S. repens extracts, in addition to other reported effects
on BPH development and prostatitis, inhibits EGF-dependent growth and
proinflammatory responses of the prostate epithelial cells" - See

- Saw Palmetto Extract Effective in Treating Chronic Prostatitis - Medscape, 4/28/03 -
"Permixon,
a compound extracted from the fruit of the American dwarf palm tree Serona repens, also known as saw
palmetto, appears to improve symptoms of chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome ... Seventy-five percent of the patients who received Permixon had at least mild improvement in
symptoms compared with 20% of the control group. Similarly, 55% of patients who received Permixon reported moderate or marked improvement compared with 16% of the control group ... In the control group,
PSA did not differ from baseline. However, the group taking Permixon experienced median decreases from baseline PSA of 22% after 6 weeks" - See
