Eupalitin from Asparagus falcatus (Linn.) has anticancer activity and induces activation of caspases 3/7 in human colorectal tumor cells

3,5,4′-Trihydroxy-6,7-dimethoxy-flavone (Eupalitin) has been isolated from the leaves of Asparagus falcatus (Linn.). Anti-proliferation and apoptosis studies were conducted on eupalitin. Results showed that eupalitin exhibited significant cytotoxicity against human colorectal tumor cells. It is fo...
