Caspase Inhibition Augmented Oridonin-Induced Cell Death in Murine Fibrosarcoma L 929 by Enhancing Reactive Oxygen Species Generation

Oridonin, a diterpenoid isolated from Rabdosia rubescences, has been reported to have antitumor effects. In this study, the growth-inhibitory activity of oridonin for L929 cells was exerted in a time-and dose-dependent manner. After treatment with oridonin for 24 h, L929 cells underwent both apoptos...
