ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions containing a caffeine salt complex and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier for use in methods for preventing or treating cancer or solar dermatitis. Methods for inducing apoptosis or inhibiting proliferation in a cancer cell or cell which as UVB-induced DNA damage using a caffeine salt complex or methylated xanthine are also provided.
