Discovery of sesquiterpene from Youngia japonica with antitumor effect.

Summary

Researchers isolated 14 sesquiterpenes from Youngia japonica. One, labeled "2," showed strong cytotoxic activity against A549 lung cancer cells by increasing ROS levels, inducing apoptosis, and enhancing cleaved caspase 3 expression. This compound has potential for lung cancer treatment.
