Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Glioblastoma is the most aggressive primary malignant brain tumor of the central nervous system and remains difficult to treat because of rapid progression, diffuse invasion, and frequent recurrence. This study aimed to identify a potential natural compound against glioblastoma using a reverse network pharmacology strategy and to investigate its anti-glioma effects and underlying mechanism. METHODS:...
