Piper nigrum Extract Inhibits the Growth of Human Colorectal Cancer HT-29 Cells by Inducing p53-Mediated Apoptosis.

Researchers investigated the effect of a plant extract (PNE) on colorectal cancer (CRC) cells. PNE was found to inhibit cell proliferation, induce apoptosis, and inhibit tumor growth by regulating p53 and activating the caspase-3 pathway. PNE could be a potential natural anti-CRC drug candidate.
