Abstract

Tumor cell interaction with the extracellular matrix (ECM) is defined as the critical event of tumor invasion that signals the initiation of a metastatic cascade. To search for anti-metastatic agent from plants, several plant extracts were screened by cell- ECM anti-adhesion test. As result, Boehmeria pannosa, Dryopteris crassirhizoma, Scilla scilloides, and Agrimonia pilosa were shown a significant anti-adhesion activity.
