Attention has already been directed to the antitumor action of plant glycosides, but the involved mechanism of action is unknown. In this experimental study, the effect of glycyrrhizin in inhibiting growth of a cultured cell of salivary gland tumor induced by 20-methylcholanthrene (cultured S. G. tu...
