Tanshinone IIA inactivates Akt and induces caspase-dependent death in cervical cancer cells via the mitochondrial pathway [PDF]
In human cervical cancer cells pro-apoptotic effect of tanshinone IIA isolated from the ethanol extract of Scutellaria barbata was investigated. Tanshinone IIA treatment resulted in apoptosis and mitochondrial membrane potential loss in the cervical ...
