Review projecting shikonin as a therapeutic candidate in female carcinomas: a preclinical perspective

Bioactive substances, especially shikonin (naphthoquinone), which is extracted from Lithospermum erythrorhizon, have drawn much attention as promising substitutes for preventing cancer malignancy. Shikonin (SK) has displayed a broad spectrum of anticancer activities, such as necroptosis, cell cycle...
