Anticancer studies

edit

α-Hederin and also its derivative, kalopanaxsaponin-I, have been studied for their anticancer activities.[5][2] α-Hederin has been shown to enhance the cytotoxicity of an established chemotherapeutic agent, 5-fluorouracil, in an animal model of colon carcinoma.[5]

Moreover, N. saliva seed, its oil, thymoquinone, alpha-hederin or their analogs could be used in suitable combinations with already established as chemotherapeutic agents.
