• Abstract:

  The β-carboline alkaloids present in medicinal plants, such as Peganum harmala and Eurycoma longifolia, have recently drawn attention due to their antitumor activities. Further mechanistic studies indicate that β-carboline derivatives inhibit DNA topoisomerases and interfere with DNA synthesis. Moreover, some β-carboline compounds are..
