Herbs inhibit growth of human ovarian cancer cell lines

[Guest guest]

In this study four herbal combinations were used but only the japanese

names were given:

any kampo herbalists that could translate? Or anyone know a good cross

reference?

sho-saiko-to, hochu-ekki-to, juzen-taiho-to, ninjin-yoei-to

 

The study is " Inhibitory effects of herbal drugs on the growth of human

ovarian cancer cell lines through the induction of apoptosis. " by Zhu,

kun, Fukasawa, Ichio et al. Gynecologic Oncology 97 (2005) 405-409

 

Thanks,

Hi Nicole,

 

sho-saiko-to = Xiao Chai Hu Tang

hochu-ekki-to = Bu Zhong Yi Qi Tang

juzen-taiho-to = Shi Quan Da Bu Tang

ninjin-yoei-to = Ren Shen Yang Ying Tang

 

Hope all is going well for you.

 

take care,

Robert Hayden

Thanks Robert! Turns out that xiao chai hu tang had the greatest

effects on the cancer cells. THe authors hypothesize the " active

ingredients " were baicalin in scute and glycerizin in licorice..

interesting..
