[Detection of the anti-cancer biological effect of naphthoquinone pigment-LIII].
Naphthoquinone pigment-LIII, an extract from Arnebia euchroma, could apparently inhibit the proliferation of stomach cancer cell line and esophagus cancer cell line. At the effective concentration of 5 micrograms/ml, the mitotic index and growth curve declined without showing any damage to human normal cells. At 5-10 micrograms/ml, the colony efficiency of cancer cells became significantly low. The anti-cancer effect of Naphthoquinone pigment-LIII might be related to its role of influencing the amount of RNA and ultrastructure of cancer cells which was discussed in this paper.
