Artemisinin and Breast Cancer
PúblicoContenido Descargable
open in viewerAntiproliferative effects of the compound, artemisinin, have been observed in several breast cancer lines. Whole plants extracts appear to be more efficacious than the pure compound in the treatment of diseases such as malaria. In our studies, MCF-7 breast cancer cells were treated with purified artemisinin and extracts of the whole plant Artemisia annua to compare the effects. These results suggest that extracted artemisinin extract contains compounds with antagonistic effects which may inhibit its effects in cancer therapy.
