Chelerythrine chloride from Macleaya cordata induces growth inhibition and apoptosis in human gastric cancer BGC-823 cells

This study aimed to investigate the ability of chelerythrine chloride (CHE), the main active ingredient of Macleaya cordata, to induce apoptosis in human gastric cancer BGC-823 cells. The results demonstrate that CHE inhibits cell proliferation in a time- and dose-dependent manner with accompanying...
