Researchers from the Chang Gung University of Science and Technology in Taiwan found that sophoraflavanone G (SG), which was derived from Sophora flavescens, can induce apoptosis in human leukemia cells in vitro. The results of the study were published in The American Journal of Chinese Medicine.
In sum, SG was found to increase the effect of apoptosis through activating caspase-3 and mitochondrial-mediated and MAPK pathways.
