The Inhibitory Effect of Kerra^TM, KS^TM, and Minoza^TM on Human Papillomavirus Infection and Cervical Cancer.

ABSTRACT: Background and Objectives: Cervical cancer is one of the most common types of frequently found cancers in Thailand. One of the causative agents is the infection of the high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) type 16 and 18. Traditional medicines are rich sources of bioactive compounds which are a valuable source for the development of novel cancer therapies. In this study, the therapeutic effects of 3 traditional medicines, Kerra^TM, KS^TM, and Minoza^TM, were studied on HeLa and CaSki cells. Materials and Methods: The effects of Kerra^TM, KS^TM, and Minoza^TM on cancer cells were evaluated through cytotoxicity and cell death assays. The infection assay using HPV-16 pseudovirus was also carried out. Results: All
