Abstract
The Chinese traditional medicine Curcuma zedoaria (Zingiberaceae) has been proven to have a potent anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anticarcinogenic effects. A sesquiterpene, ar-turmerone, is isolated from Curcuma zedoaria. We have investigated the cytotoxic effect of ar-turmerone on K562, L1210, Jurkat, U937, Siha, RBL, and SNU cell lines by MTT assay.(omitted)
