Stingless-bee (Trigona itama) honey adversely impacts the growth of oral squamous cell carcinoma cell lines (HSC-2). European Journal of Integrative Medicine, 37: 101162. pp. 1-7. ISSN 1876-3839 (2020)



Abstract

Currently, a number of treatment strategies are available to treat oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), but unfortunately, they are less than adequate in significantly ameliorating the condition. Hence new therapeutic approaches are required to address this issue. Here, we describe the in-vitro effect of Malaysian stingless-bee (Trigona itama) honey on a cell line derived from OSCC (HSC-2) and its feasibility as a chemotherapeutic agent to alleviate the condition.
