Other cancers Breast cancer, Prostate cancer, Pancreatic cancer
Target gene or protein HER2, ESR1
Gene or Protein evidence The HER2 oncogene (one of the prognostic factors of breast cancer) and ESR1 gene (oestrogen receptor-alpha, ERα) transcription were markedly up-regulated by FA treatment. Besides, HER2 signalling and its downstream molecules such as AKT and ERK1/2 were involved in FA-modulated ERalpha and cyclin D1 synthesis.
Target pathways NA
IC50 NA
Potency Based on the results of cellular carried out in this study, we could demonstrate that asafoetida and its essential oil and ferulic acid have inhibitory effect on the growth of breast cancer cell line.
Cell line/ mice model MCF-7, BT-474, MDA- MB-231, SKBR-3
