(BS), reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation under treatment with 28-homocastasterone
and its synthetic derivatives (22 S, 23S)-28-homocastasterone was measured in A549
human lung adenocarcinoma cells. BS induced ROS generation in A549 cells and their
growth in a time and dose-dependent manner. The maximal effect was observed for (22S,
23S)-28-homocastasterone which at 30 μM concentration showed a 6-fold increase of ROS …
