Application


  • Withaferin A for apoptosis induction in cancer cells: Withaferin A has been extensively researched for its ability to trigger apoptosis in cancer cells, making it a valuable research chemical for studying cancer cell dynamics and potential therapeutic interventions (Chen et al., 2023).

  • Withaferin A as a proteasome inhibitor: The compound′s function as a proteasome inhibitor is crucial for understanding protein degradation pathways in cells, particularly in cancer research, where proteasome inhibition is linked to cell cycle arrest and apoptosis (Shuaib et al., 2024).
