Euptox A, from Ageratina adenophora juice, is a toxin associated with the plant's resistance to infections, invasiveness and traditional use in cancer treatment. We used FTIR spectroscopy and protein profiling of cell lines to study the impact of euptox A on human cells, to clarify its mechanism of action in a top-down approach. Euptox A was extracted from the juice of A.
