Leshydroleucodine, a lactone that inhibits tumor growth

Sesquiterpene lactone, dehydroleucodine (DhL) inhibits the proliferation of human tumor cells in in vitro cultures.


Dr. Dario Fernandez, CONICET researcher, gave a talk in the framework of the IMIT cycle of seminars.

During his presentation, Darío referred to the purification of molecules extracted from the plant called Matico (Artemisia douglasiana), where one of the secondary metabolites obtained was relevant in affecting the cell cycle of tumor cells.
