May 2025 in “Cytotechnology” The study explores the impact of Icariside II on gastric cancer, revealing that it inhibits cancer cell proliferation and promotes apoptosis with minimal toxicity to normal cells. In vivo experiments with nude mice showed reduced tumor growth. The compound works by suppressing the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, essential for gastric cancer tumorigenicity, suggesting its potential as a therapeutic agent.
