Anethole attenuates lung cancer progression by regulating the proliferation and apoptosis through AKT and STAT3 signaling
Background: The main constituent of fennel, anethole, exerts beneficial effects in many diseases, including antiproliferative and tumoricidal capacities.This study aimed to investigate the effect of anethole on the human non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell line, A549, and the related molecular mechanisms.Methods: The proliferation was assessed
