Effect of 3-O-acetylaleuritolic acid from in vitro-cultured Drosera spatulata on cancer cells survival and migration.

Background: Drosera spatulata is a source of many compounds such as naphthoquinones, phenolic acids, flavonoids, anthocyanins, and naphthalene derivatives. Unfortunately, the information regarding the biological activity and chemical profile of those compounds is still incomplete. Herein, we investigated the biological activity of 3-O-acetylaleuritolic acid (3-O-AAA) in cancer cell lines.
