Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the anticancer potential of . Several in vitro and in vivo biological assays were applied to explore the direct effect of an extract and bioactive compound of this plant against breast cancer cells and its possible mechanism of action.
Materials And Methods: methanol extract (KME) was prepared, and MTT assay was used to evaluate the cytotoxicity.
Therapy that directly targets apoptosis and/or inflammation could be highly effective for the treatment of cancer. is an edible herb that has been traditionally used for cancer treatment as well as inflammation. Here, we describe that girinimbine, a carbazole alkaloid isolated from , induced apoptosis and inhibited inflammation in vitro as well as in vivo.

Ferulago angulata leaf hexane extract (FALHE) was found to be a potent inducer of MCF7 cell apoptosis. The aims of the present study were to investigate the in vivo chemopreventive effect of FALHE in rats, to identify the contributing anticancer compound in FALHE and to determine its potential mechanism of action against MCF7 cells. Thirty rats harboring LA7-induced breast tumors were divided into five groups: tumor control, low-dose FALHE, high-dose FALHE, treatment control (tamoxifen) and normal control.
