IC50 = 15 μMInhibited gastric cancer growthInducted mitochondrial-mediated apoptosis Inhibited cancer cell migrationInduced cell apoptosisTriggered G2/M cell cycle arrest in a dose-dependent mannerInhibited the JAK/STAT signalling pathwayExhibited minimal anticancer effects on the normal GES-1 cellsSuppressed the phosphorylation of pSTAT1/pSTAT 2/pJAK1/pJAk2. This evidence concerns the gene SOAT1 and cancer.
