Dichloromethane fraction of Asiasarum heterotropoides induces S phase arrest and apoptosis in KB oral epithelial carcinoma cells

Vincamine Reduces Cell Viability of KB and Hep-2 Cancer Cells Through its Apoptotic Potential

“…While KB cells were recognized as a cell line derived from the mouth epithelial carcinoma, it has recently been identified as a subline of the HeLa, a ubiquitous keratin forming cancer cell line. 1,2 The original source of Hep-2 cells was a laryngeal cancer patient and it was later found to be comprised of cervical adenocarcinoma cells obtained through contamination of HeLa cells. Several researchers utilized KB and Hep-2 cells as an in vitro tool to explore the anti-proliferative potential of medicinal plants and their constituents.…”
