The Antioxidant and Pro-apoptotic effects of Sternbergia clusiana Bulb Ethanolic Extract on Breast Cancer Cells in vitro by El Samarji, Mona

“…Among the various Amaryllidaceae species, Sternbergia clusiana has been recently given a great amount of attention in the medicinal field due to its richness in small chemical molecules, namely Amaryllidaceae alkaloids; these have been reported to possess an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory role, in addition to a prominent anti-cancer effect on different types of cancer cell lines. The current study investigates the selective anti-proliferative effect of Sternbergia clusiana bulb ethanolic extract (SbBEE) on breast cancer cells cultured in vitro (MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7) and reveals the underlying mechanism responsible for the induction of cell death. …”
