Oleanolic acid induces apoptosis and autophagy via the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway in AGS human gastric cancer cells
Oleanolic acid (OA) is widely distributed in food and medicinal plants, it reportedly exerts anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer effects. In this study, we investigated the effect of OA on human gastric cancer cells AGS in vitro and in vivo. The OA treatment significantly inhibited the AGS cell viabil...
