Matrine possesses strong antitumor activities in vitro and in vivo. Inhibition of cell proliferation and induction of apoptosis are the likely mechanisms responsible for matrine's antitumor activities. Matrine can be commercially extracted from the traditional Chinese medical herb Sophora flavescens Ait.
