Researchers from South Korea have found that Artemisia capillaris, commonly known as wormwood, can inhibit the spread of hepatocellular carcinoma by inducing apoptosis. The study, which appeared in BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine, used an ethanol fraction of A. capillaris to determine its anti-cancer properties and its mode of action.
The study indicates that LAC117 significantly reduces apoptosis and inhibits the growth of human HCC cells.
