The natural product NI-07 demonstrates effective anti-cancer properties against numerous cancer cell types

Abstract

Background: With the exception of a few anticancer agents, most chemotherapeutics currently used have varying effects on cancer cells and devastating effects on normal cells. Previously, we showed the natural product compound NI-07 was effective against breast cancer cells. Here, we investigated its effectiveness in vitro on six different cancer types. Additionally, NI-07 was tested in vivo by injecting human melanoma cells WM-266-4 into BALB/c mice and treating with NI-07, cisplatin or untreated.
