New insights into the anti-hepatoma mechanism of Alisol G-metal ions complexes based on c-myc DNA

This study investigated the anti-hepatoma molecular mechanism of Alisol G, which is an effective component of the Chinese medicine Alisma orientalis, in the presence of metal ions Cu2+ and Fe3+ based on c-myc DNA. Here, a combination of Alisol G and metal ions (Cu2+, Fe3+) to augment anti-hepatoma e...
