Source of phytochemicals or plant Extracts Cryptocarya latifolia
Geographical availability Cape Provinces, KwaZulu-Natal
Plant parts NA
Other cancers Breast cancer
Target gene or protein p38, JNK1/2, AKT, Bax, Bcl-2
Gene or Protein evidence Therefore, goniothalamin promoted apoptosis associated with autophagy induction in SK-BR-3 cells through p-p38 and p-JNK1/2 upregulation and p-Akt downregulation. Goniothalamin also increased the Bax/Bcl-2 ratio and expression of cleaved caspase-7, cleaved caspase-9 and cleaved PARP, but decreased Bcl-2 expression.
Target pathways MAPK signaling
IC50 10±0.45 μg/ml aginst SKBR-3
Potency The present study indicated that goniothalamin may be further used as a potential therapeutic candidate or may offer an alternative treatment for breast cancer.
Cell line/ mice model SKBR-3
Additional information  In addition, goniothalamin induced apoptosis via p-JNK1/2 and p-p38 upregulation and inhibited cell survival via p-ERK1/2 and p-Akt downregulation.
