Article Synopsis
- Four new triterpenes, alongside 16 known ones, were extracted from Betula platyphylla var. japonica in the quest for compounds that can combat multidrug resistance in cancer cells.
- *The newly identified triterpenes' structures were confirmed through spectroscopic methods, revealing potential therapeutic candidates against cancer.
- *While most triterpenes displayed low toxicity towards human cancer cells, their effectiveness against multidrug-resistant lines improved when combined with non-toxic levels of colchicine or doxorubicin.
