Crude extracts, flavokawain B and alpinetin compounds from the rhizome of Alpinia mutica induce cell death via UCK2 enzyme inhibition and in turn reduce 18S rRNA biosynthesis in HT-29 cells

Crude extracts, flavokawain B and alpinetin compounds from the rhizome of Alpinia mutica induce cell death via UCK2 enzyme inhibition and in turn reduce 18S rRNA biosynthesis in HT-29 cells

Uridine-cytidine kinase 2 is an enzyme that is overexpressed in abnormal cell growth and its implication is considered a hallmark of cancer. Due to the selective expression of UCK2 in cancer cells, a selective inhibition of this key enzyme necessitates the discovery of its potential inhibitors for c...
