Naturally occurring glycyrrhizin triterpene exerts anticancer effects on colorectal cancer cells via induction of apoptosis and autophagy and suppression of cell migration and invasion by targeting MMP-9 and MMP-2 expression.

CONCLUSION: The results of this study reveal that glycyrrhizin can be developed as a potent anticancer agent against colorectal cancer provided further studied are performed, especially on its toxicity to humans. PMID: 32277631 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
