title: [Anti-invasion activity of several plant-originated anticancer drugs with different mechanism of action].
abstract: The antitumor and anti-invasion activities of taxol, harringtonine, homoharringtonine and camptothecin on highly metastatic melanoma B16-BL6 and human fibrosarcoma HT-1080 cells were reported in this paper. Results demonstrated that taxol, harringtonine, homoharringtonine and camptothecin exhibited significant inhibition of cell growth of B16-BL6 and HT-1080 cells. Taxol, harringtonine and homoharringtonine were also found to be effective for the inhibition of cell invasion and migration of B16-BL6 cells, but camptothecin showed basically no effect at the indicated concentration.
