In this study, researchers from China investigated the cellular gene targets responsible for baicalin’s anti-tumor activity. The results of their functional and proteomic analysis were published in The American Journal of Chinese Medicine.
Based on their results, the researchers concluded that baicalin exerted its antitumor activity by inhibiting tumor growth in the A431 cell line, and this inhibition may be associated with the regulation of NPM gene expression.
