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).

In this paper, we proposed the use of gold nanoparticles as plasmon scattering probes for dark-field multiplex imaging of live cancer cells. By carefully engineering the surfaces, aqueous dispersions of anti-EGFR antibody-conjugated gold nanospheres and gold nanorods are prepared. We
