Autophagy inhibitor chloroquine enhanced the cell death inducing effect of the flavonoid luteolin in metastatic squamous cell carcinoma cells.

<h4>Background</h4>Flavonoids are widely proposed as very interesting compounds with possible chemopreventive and therapeutic capacities.<h4>Methods & results</h4>In this study, we showed that in vitro treatment with the flavonoid Luteolin induced caspase-dependent cell d...
