Its main components are oleic acid and linoleic acid.[9] Modern pharmacological research has demonstrated that tetracyclic triterpene quassinoids are the main antitumor ingredients in B. javanica, which may induce cancer cell death by various mechanisms, including the induction of apoptosis, regulation of the cell cycle, reversal of multidrug resistance, and a reduction in cell proliferation by reducing the expression of the Bcl-2 gene.[12,13,41–45] A report showed that B. javanica may inhibit Ehrlich ascites cancer cells in mice and ascites hepatoma cells in vitro.[46]. Here, BCL2 is linked to cancer.
