BRUCEIN D, A NATURALLY OCCURRING TETRACYCLIC TRITERPENE QUASSINOID, INDUCES APOPTOSIS IN PANCREATIC CANCER THROUGH ROS-ASSOCIATED PI3K/AKT SIGNALING PATHWAY

Brucein D, a Naturally Occurring Tetracyclic Triterpene Quassinoid, Induces Apoptosis in Pancreatic Cancer through ROS-Associated PI3K/Akt Signaling Pathway

Brucein D (BD), a major active quassinoid in Brucea javanica, has exhibited pronounced anticancer activities.However, the biologic mechanisms have not been fully explored.In this study, BD exhibited more potent cytotoxic effect on pancreatic cancer (PanCa) cell lines, while exerted weaker cytotoxic effects on GES-1 cells (non-tumorigenic).BD was sh
