The Use of ß-Elemene to Enhance Radio Sensitization of A375 Human Melanoma Cells.

Abstract

Our results showed that β-elemene reduced the proliferation of human melanoma cancer cell through apoptosis. Also, the results demonstrated that the radio sensitivity of A375 cell line was significantly enhanced by β-elemene. The findings of this study indicated the efficiency of β-elemene in treating melanoma cells and the necessity for further research in this field.
