Potency Collectively, our results demonstrate that GA, instead of GL, is a better candidate for TNBC treatment because of its anti-cancer effect and sensitization of topoisomerase IIα inhibitor.
Cell line/ mice model MDA-MB-231, HeLa, MCF-7
Additional information  However, GL showed protection and detoxication by decreasing reactive oxygen species generation, maintaining GSH and differentially modulating apoptosis, AKT pathway, ERK and JNK of MAPK pathway.
