The current study examined the potential of polyphenol-rich methanol extracts from Rosa canina L. (RCME) and two of its components, rutin and quercitrin, to enhance protein trafficking of NPC1 and restore cholesterol levels in fibroblasts derived from NPC patients, in comparison with miglustat, a drug approved in Europe for NPC treatment. The gene discussed is NPC1; the disease is nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
