Physalin F induces cell apoptosis in human renal carcinoma cells by targeting NF-kappaB and generating reactive oxygen species.
BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to determine the molecular mechanisms of physalin F, an effective purified extract of Physalis angulata L. (Solanacae), in renal carcinoma A498 cells. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: Physalin F was observed to significantly induce cytotoxicity of three human ren...
