A New Saponin (Zygo-albuside D) from Zygophyllum album Roots Triggers Apoptosis in Non-Small Cell Lung Carcinoma (A549 Cells) through CDK-2 Inhibition.

Researchers isolated a new compound (Zygo-albuside D) from the root extract of an unknown plant, along with two known compounds. Zygo-albuside D showed promising cytotoxicity against cancer cells and induced apoptotic cell death. It also inhibited a specific target (CDK-2) and showed potential as an anticancer agent.
