Antitumor Effects of Ginkgolic Acid in Human Cancer Cell Occur via Cell Cycle Arrest and Decrease the Bcl-2/Bax Ratio to Induce Apoptosis
1 Jan 2010
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Ginkgolic acids (GAs), extracted from the seed coat of Ginkgo biloba L. Our previous study has shown that GA monomer could inhibit the growth of Hep-2 significantly and induce the fragmentation of the chromosomal DNA. To further assess the antitumor potential and turn it into a candidate new antitumor drug, the antitumor mechanism of GA was investigated. METHOD: The cytotoxicity and antitumor effect...
