Science
Mechanism of Action
Its mechanisms include inhibiting cell proliferation, promoting apoptosis, and blocking cell cycle progression, often via pathways like PI3K/Akt/mTOR and NF-κB. Key active components, such as triterpenoid saponins, also exhibit antioxidant and antibacterial effects.

Key findings
- 01 In vitro studies show total saponins at 10 μg/mL inhibited human breast cancer cell proliferation and migration by modulating the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway.
- 02 An aqueous bulb extract, particularly at 12.5% and 25%, suppressed human hepatocellular carcinoma cell growth by regulating apoptotic and anti-apoptotic proteins.
- 03 A 75% ethanol extract demonstrated antibacterial activity against specific strains like Salmonellae and Staphylococcus aureus.
