Cover Feature: Shikonin Derivative Suppresses Colorectal Cancer Cells Growth via Reactive Oxygen Species-Mediated Mitochondrial Apoptosis and PI3K/AKT Pathway (Chem. Biodiversity 4/2025)
Cover Feature. Shikonin, a naphthoquinone bioactive compound derived from Lithospermum erythrorhizon, has demonstrated significant pharmacological properties. Its derivative, M12, exhibits potent antitumor effects in colorectal cancer (CRC). The induction of apoptosis by M12 in CRC cells is mediated through the activation of the ROS-dependent mitochondrial pathway, coupled with the suppression of the PI3K/AKT signaling cascade. These findings highlight the potential of M12 as a promising therapeutic candidate for the treatment of CRC. More details can be found in article number e202403291 by Yonghua Yang, Guohua Xu, and co-workers.
