Narciclasine - A Potential Anticancer Drug

Article Preview

Abstract:

Narciclasine (NCS) is a plant growth inhibitor isolated from the secreted mucilage of Narcissus tazetta bulbs, which is commonly used anticancer agent in human systems. Refer to the literatures in recent years, this article reviewed the anti-cancer effects of potential anticancer drugsNarciclasine, which induces apoptosis by activation of the death receptor and/or mitochondrial pathways in cancer cells. Narciclasine displays antitumor effects in apoptosis-resistant as well as in apoptosis-sensitive cancer cells by impairing the organization of the actin cytoskeleton.
