In our studious research towards the discovery for new lead compounds and useful bioactivities from Chinese traditional herbs, several bioactivity screenings such as cytotoxicity assays against five human cancer cell lines (HL-60, SMMC-7721, A-549, MCF-7, and SW480), inhibitory activities on NO production, and inhibitory activities on β-site amyloid precursor protein cleaving enzyme 1 (BACE1), were carried out for compounds 1 and 2. This evidence concerns the gene BACE1 and cancer.
