Applications

Germacrone treatment significantly inhibited cell proliferation, increased lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release, and induced mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm) depolarization in both MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells in a dose-dependent manner. Germacrone induced MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 cell cycle arrest at the G0/G1 and G2/M phases respectively and induced MDA-MB-231 cell apoptosis. Furthermore, germacrone treatment significantly increased Bok expression and cytochrome c release from mitochondria without affecting Bcl-2, Bcl-xL, Bax, and Bim protein expressions. In addition, germacrone treatment induced caspase-3, 7, 9, PARP cleavage. We concluded that germacrone inhibited the proliferation of breast cancer cell lines by inducing cell cycle arrest and apoptosis through mitochondria-mediated caspase pathway. These results might provide some molecular basis for the anti-tumor activity of Rhizoma curcuma.


Germacrone might be a new potent chemopreventive drug candidate for liver cancer via regulating the expression of proteins related to G2/M cell cycle and apoptosis, and p53 and oxidative damage may play important roles in the inhibition of human hepatoma cells growth by germacrone.

After Receiving
The packaging of the product may have turned upside down during transportation, resulting in the product adhering to the neck or cap of the vial. take the vial out of its packaging and gently shake to let the compounds fall to the bottom of the vial. for liquid products, centrifuge at 200-500 RPM to gather the liquid at the bottom of the vial. try to avoid loss or contamination during handling.
