The cytotoxic activity of sesquiterpene lactones in species Ajania przewalskii Poljakov and Ligularia platyglossa was also reported [143, 144]. The volatile principles of Citrus aurantifolia inhibit proliferation inhibition of human colon cancer cells by apoptosis. The volatile sesquiterpenes showed DNA fragmentatiOTi and induction of caspase-3 [145]. The antiproUferative and anticancer activity of Nigella sativa was established [146]. Sesquiterpene lactmie from Schistochila glaucescens, Laurencia majuscula, Curcuma parviflora, and Liverwort shows...
