Since 2012, several diterpenoid alkaloid components and their derivatives exhibited antiproliferative activity against human tumor cell lines, including A549 (lung carcinoma), DU145 (prostate carcinoma), MDA-MB-231 (estrogen and progesterone receptor-negative & HER2-negative triple-negative breast cancer), MCF-7 (estrogen receptor-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer), KB (identical to cervical carcinoma HeLa derived AV-3 cell line), and multidrug-resistant (MDR) subline KB-VIN [P-glycoprotein (P-gp) overexpressing vincristine-resistant KB subline]. The gene discussed is ERBB2; the disease is cervical carcinoma.
