These experimental results showed that the effect of Nordy on human pulmonary adenocarcinoma cell line A549 in vitro was similar to that of NDGA extracted from plants.
Recently, people found NDGA could inhibit tumor growth and induce cell apoptosis. This review will focus on research advancement about effect and mechanism of NDGA inhibiting tumor.
Conclusions: NDGA which, displays the relying effect of doses, can inhibit the growth of colon cancer cell line HT 29 and induce its apoptosis, telomerase plays an active role in this course.
