Exploration of Xanthone Derivatives as Anti-Cancer Agents against Colorectal Cancer

Colorectal cancer currently occupies the third position of globally cancer morbidity and is the second leading cause of cancer death after lung cancer. Chemotherapy administration is still the main modality for the colorectal cancer stage I to III. Its usage is limited, since its high resistance and...
