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

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
