The inhibiotry effect of honokiol, a natural plant product, on vestibular schwannoma cells
As the molecular biology of vestibular schwannoma (VS) is better understood, new means of targeting the pathways involved for intervention in schwannoma cells are being developed. Honokiol, a bioactive constituent of Magnolia officinalis, has attracted attention due to its diverse biological effects. Honokiol exhibited significant anti-proliferative activity in a dose-dependent manner on HEI 193 cells. Significant apoptosis was detected on schwannoma cells with 7 µg/mL (IC50) honokiol. Western blot analysis showed significant inhibition of ERK phosphorylation.
