Herniarin

Herniarin is a natural coumarin with antitumor effect. (In Vitro) :Herniarin is cytotoxic to breast carcinoma cell line MCF-7 with an IC50 of 207.6 μM. Herniarin (100 μM) also induces apoptosis in MCF-7 cells. Herniarin alone has no obvious cytotoxicity on transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) cells, but when in combination with 5 μg/mL cisplatin, Herniarin (80 μg/mL) potently enhances the antitumor effect of cisplatin, and increases chromatin condensation.
