How to use

In Vitro:

β-Elemene (0-200 µg/ml; 24 hours) shows IC50 values of 72.8 µg/ml; 47.4 µg/ml; 61.5 µg/ml; 3.661 µg/ml; 68 µg/ml; 72.12 µg/ml; 37.894 µg/ml and 37.703 µg/ml for SV-HUC-1, T24, 5637, TCCSUP, J82, UMUC-3, RT4, and SW780 cells, respectively. β-Elemene (0-75 µg/ml; 24 hours) decreases cell number from 50 µg/ml and is notably decreased at 75 µg/ml, induces dose-dependent G1-phase arrest in T24cells and significantly reduces the percentage of cells in the S-phase. β-Elemene (50 µg/ml; 12 hours) downregulates the expression levels of p-STAT3 and the cell cycle-related proteins cyclin D1, CDK4 and CDK6, and upregulates p21 and p27expression in T24 cells. β-Elemene (50 µg/ml; 24 hours) enhances cisplatin-induced apoptosis by activating the ROS-AMPK signaling pathway.
