19 May 2005
Abstract excerpt
The natural product justicidin A, an arylnaphthalide lignan isolated from Justicia procumbens, significantly inhibited the growth of human colorectal cancer cells HT-29 and HCT 116 at day 6 post-treatment.

Justicidin A treatment caused DNA fragmentation and an increase in phosphatidylserine exposure of...
