Researchers at Kyung Hee University in South Korea investigated the apoptotic and autophagy-inducing effect of Scutellaria radix (SR) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Their findings were published in The American Journal of Chinese Medicine.
Based on these results, the researchers concluded that the root of S. baicalensis induces apoptosis in non-small cell lung cancer via AMPK-dependent autophagy, making it a potential anti-cancer agent against NSCLC.
