Abstract
Tetrandrine is a bis-benzyl isoquinoline alkaloid derived from the root of Stephania tetrandra S. Moore. which was reported to elicit in vitro cytotoxic effect on HeLa cells and in vivo supprresive effects on mouse ascite tumor. Tetrandrine also induced apoptosis in a various cell lines. Recent studies have revealed that mitochondria has been shown to play an important role in the regulation of apoptotic processes. (omitted)
