Phellinus�gilvus‑derived protocatechualdehyde induces G0/G1�phase arrest and apoptosis in murine B16‑F10 cells

Protocatechualdehyde (PCA) is considered to be the main phenolic component of Phellinus gilvus responsible for its anticancer properties. Previous studies have demonstrated that PCA can have an anticancer effect on multiple cancer types, but little is known about the effect of PCA on melanoma cells. The present study investigated the inhibitory abilities and potential anticancer mechanisms of PCA on B16‑F10 cells using MTT assay. Cell apoptosis...
