Plant parts Rhizome
Other cancers Breast cancer
Target gene or protein Beclin-1, Caspase 3
Gene or Protein evidence Consistently, caspase 3 activity also elevated after PD treatment, indicating that PD induced apoptosis through the activation of caspase proteins. Beclin 1 is indispensable for PD induced autophagy.
Target pathways JNK1/Bcl-2 pathway
IC50 NA
Potency PD could induce caspase-dependent apoptosis and cyto-protectvie autophagy by activation of JNK1/Bcl-2 pathway in breast cancer cells.
Cell line/ mice model NA
Additional information  Combination with an autophagy inhibitor significantly enhance cytotoxic effect of PD and this combination may be a promising candidate for breast cancer therapy.
