Cytotoxic activity of Coumarins from the fruits of Cnidium monnieri on Leukemia cell lines
Article Abstract:
Tests have shown that the ethanol extract of CmF (Cnidii monnieri Fructus) exhibited strong effects on human leukemia (HL-60), cervical carcinoma (HeLa) and colorectal carcinoma cells (CoLo 205). Osthol and imperatorin are indicated to be cytotoxic marker substances in the fruits of Cnidium monnieri.

Involvement of reactive oxygen species, but not mitochondrial permeability transition in the apoptotic induction of human SK-Hep-1 hepatoma cells by shikonin
Article Abstract:
Shikonin exhibits anti-cancer activity, but the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. It is suggested that shikonin-induced apoptosis of SK-Hep-1 cells proceeds by an oxidative stress-mediated pathway.
