Anti-proliferative and Apoptotic Activities of Kasturi Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) Leaf Resinoid on Cervical Cancer Cell

Abstract

ACKGROUND: Cervical cancer has a high rate of morbidity and mortality in women with cancer. Recent studies have found that tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) is a potential source of anti-cancer agents. Hence, this study was conducted to determine the potential of Kasturi tobacco leaf resinoids as apoptotic agents against cervical cell malignancies, since it has not been fully elucidated before.
