A dehydrogenation polymer of ferulic acid (DHP-FA), a synthetic lignin, was evaluated for its ability to inhibit tumor promotion by 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) in the 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene-treated skin of female ICR mice. Topical application of DHP-FA inhibits TPA-induced tumor promotion, whereas a monomeric ferulic acid does not show the inhibitory effect.
