2β-(Isobutyryloxy)florilenalin, a Sesquiterpene Lactone Isolated from the Medicinal Plant Centipeda minima, Induces Apoptosis in Human Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma CNE Cells

Centipeda minima is a medicinal plant reputed in China as a remedy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). In this study, bioactivity-guided fractionation of the anti-NPC compound(s) from C. minima led to the isolation of 2β-(isobutyryloxy)florilenalin (IF), a sesquiterpene lactone. IF showed significan...
