1′S-1′-Acetoxyeugenol acetate: A new chemotherapeutic natural compound against MCF-7 human breast cancer cells
Medicinal plants containing active natural compounds have been used as an alternative treatment for cancer patients in many parts of the world especially in Asia (Itharat et al. 2004). In this report, we describe the cytotoxic and apoptotic properties of 1′S-1′-acetoxyeugenol acetate (AEA), an analo...
