Atranorin Triggers Intrinsic and Extrinsic Apoptosis and Suppresses Migration in Human Melanoma Cells
This study is the first to demonstrate the potent anti-melanoma effect of atranorin. This demonstrates the natural compounds' effects on cell proliferation, cell cycle progression, and the suppression of metastasis. These findings emphasize the potential of atranorin as a novel natural compound for use in adjunctive or targeted melanoma therapy, and highlight the need for further preclinical and clinical evaluation.
