Tumor-Selective Cytotoxicity of Nitidine Results from Its Rapid Accumulation into Mitochondria

We identified a nitidine- (NTD-) accumulating organelle and evaluated the net cytotoxicity of accumulated NTD. To evaluate tumor cell selectivity of the drug, we evaluated its selective cytotoxicity against 39 human cancer cell lines (JFCR39 panel), and the profile was compared with those of known a...
