Conditions
Ferula hezarlalehzarica demonstrates significant anticancer potential by treating Raji Burkitt's lymphoma cells. Specifically, the plant's hexane fraction effectively treats the Raji lymphoma cell line by inducing high levels of cytotoxicity. This treatment works by inducing apoptosis and triggering cell cycle arrest at the G0/G1 phase. Furthermore, the plant treats the cells by causing critical changes in mitochondrial membrane potential. These combined mechanisms suggest that the plant is an effective agent for inducing cell death in these specific lymphoma cells.
