Induction of apoptosis by new ent-kaurene-type diterpenoids isolated from the New Zealand liverwort Jungermannia species.

abstract：:EGFR, as a critical signaling pathway in many human tumors, has become an important target of cancer drug design. Taspine has shown meaningful angiogenesis activity in previous studies. This paper is to investigate the antitumor action of taspine by modulating the EGFR signaling pathway. The study determined the expre...
