Arsenic trioxide (As2O3) has been used therapeutically since the 18th century for various cancers and gained FDA approval for treatment of acute promyelocytic leukaemia.
This study evaluated the anti-cancer potential of homeopathic Arsenicum album 6C on hormone-dependent breast cancer cells (MCF7). Results showed that Arsenicum album 6C halted the cell cycle at the sub-G0 and G2/M phases due to DNA damage from reactive oxygen species (ROS). 🔬
It induced apoptosis by upregulating Bax and downregulating Bcl-2, reversed epithelial to mesenchymal transition, and reduced cell migration. These findings suggest significant anti-proliferative and apoptotic potential against breast cancer cells, warranting further studies to understand the mechanism in vivo.
