Literature evidence Cells were treated with GI(50) concentration (concentration of lectin required for 50% inhibition of cell growth) of MLL (8.5 μg/ml for MCF-7 and 16 μg/ml for HCT-15) for 24 h to induce cell death.
IUPAC name NA
Phytochemicals’ class or type of plant extracts Lectin
Source of phytochemicals or plant Extracts Morus alba
Geographical availability China North-Central, China South-Central
Plant parts Leaves
Other cancers Breast cancer, Colon cancer
Target gene or protein Caspase 3
Gene or Protein evidence Up-regulation of caspase 3 activity was also found in cells treated with MLL.
Target pathways NA
IC50 NA
Potency Cells were treated with GI(50) concentration (concentration of lectin required for 50% inhibition of cell growth) of MLL (8.5 μg/ml for MCF-7 and 16 μg/ml for HCT-15) for 24 h to induce cell death.
Cell line/ mice model MCF-7, HCT-15
Additional information  Flow cytometry analysis showed an increase in the percentage of cells in sub G0-G1 phase confirming the MLL induced apoptosis. In conclusion, MLL induced apoptosis in MCF-7 and HCT-15 cells in a caspase dependent manner.
