| Details | Many plant-derived products possess a potential for use in chemotherapy. For example, vincristine (VCR) and vinblastine—two natural alkaloids isolated from. Andro has been shown to have anti-tumor activities against solid and hematopoietic tumor cell lines, established from colon-, gastric-, liver-, breast-, and prostatic cancers, leukemia, and lymphoma (. THP-1 (RRID:CVCL_0006) is a permanent human monocytic cell line derived from an acute monocytic leukemia patient (. H929 (aka “NCI-H929”) (RRID:CVCL_1600) is a permanent human IgA-kappa-producing multiple myeloma cell line (. In the present study, we investigated the viability-reducing effects and their mechanisms of Andro on both THP-1 and H929 cells. The effects of Andro were compared with those of the common anti-cancer drugs VCR and Ara-C (aka cytarabine). VCR and Ara-C are widely used as chemotherapeutic agents against soft tissue tumors and hematopoietic tumors including acute leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma (n ... |
