Anti-Cancer Properties of Ginkgolic Acids in Human Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma CNE-2Z Cells via Inhibition of Heat Shock Protein 90

<i>Ginkgo biloba</i> L. has been used in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for thousands of years. However, the anti-cancer properties of ginkgolic acids (GAS) isolated from <i>G. biloba</i> have not been investigated in human nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells. In this study, G...
