Millifolide A, a dimeric ether of degraded sesquiterpene lactones, inhibited the proliferation of human lung cancer cell line A549The inhibitory effect of three degraded sesquiterpene lactones, iso-secotanapartholide, arteludooicinolide A and millifolide A isolated from Achillea millefolium L., on anti-human lung cancer cells was examined using MTT and reporter gene assays. Millifolide A has a significant inhibitory effects on the proliferation of human lung cancer cells probably through inducing cell apoptosis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
