title: The effect of acetylshikonin isolated from Lithospermum canescens roots on tumor-induced cutaneous angiogenesis.
abstract: This study has demonstrated that acetylshikonin (ACS), the isolated ingredient from Lithospermum canescens Lehm. roots, in a daily dose of 200 microg for 3 days, inhibited cutaneous angiogenesis induced by L-1 sarcoma cells in Balb/c mice.
