Certain jaesekanadiol p‐hydroxy‐ and p‐methoxybenzoates – typical of Ferula communis and Ferula arrigonii sardinian plants – show antiproliferative activity on human colon cancer less. The inhibitory doses 50%, calculated after 72 h of treatment, revealed that the antiproliferative capacity of the compounds was in the following descending order: ferutinin > 2 α ‐OH‐ferutidin > ferutidin > siol anisate > lapiferin > jaeskeanadiol. Evidence is presented that interaction with type II estrogen‐binding sites (EBS) underlies this activity. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
