Shatavarin-IV, a steroidal saponin from Asparagus racemosus, inhibits cell cycle progression and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition in AGS cells under hyperglycemic conditions.

Summary

A study found that Shatavarin-IV, a compound from Asparagus racemosus, effectively inhibits gastric cancer progression in hyperglycemic conditions by inducing cell cycle arrest and apoptosis, inhibiting migration and invasion, and regulating ECM turnover. This could lead to new treatments for patients with GC-diabetes co-morbidity.
