Fern Plant–Derived Protoapigenone Leads to DNA Damage, Apoptosis, and G <sub>2</sub> /M Arrest in Lung Cancer Cell Line H1299
24 Jul 2009
Abstract excerpt
Protoapigenone, isolated from the native fern plant Thelypteris torresiana, has anticancer activity against some cancer cells. However, the toxicological mechanism for protoapigenone is still unknown. Here, we investigated the anticancer effect of protoapigenone on human lung cancer cell lines. The comet assay showed that DNA damage induced by protoapigenone is dose-dependent. Trypan blue exclusion showed that...
