Eupafolin induces apoptosis and autophagy of breast cancer cells through PI3K/AKT, MAPKs and NF-κB signaling pathways

Abstract Eupafolin is a flavonoid that can be extracted from common sage. Previous studies have reported that Eupafolin has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor properties. However, no studies have investigated the role of Eupafolin in breast cancer. Herein, we investigated the effect of Eu...
