The Editor in Chief has retracted this article because of significant concerns regarding a number of Figures presented in this work, which question the integrity of the data. There were found to be overlapping images in figure 3A between the Vandetanib and the Sunitinib and in figure 7A between the PC-3 α-santalol 10μM and the PC-3 α-santalol 20μM. Images in Figure 3C were found to overlap with images found in Figure 5 of a previously published article [1]. Images in Figure 5A were found to overlap with images found in Figure 4A of a previously published article [2]. Images in Figure 5E were found to overlap with images found in Figure 3D of a previously published article [3].
