Antimetastatic Potentials of Dioscorea nipponica on Melanoma In Vitro and In Vivo

Figure 1

The chemical profile of Dioscorea nipponica extract was analyzed by HPLC-mass spectrometry. (a) Procedure for fractionation of the extracts from Dioscorea nipponica. (b) B16F10 cells were treated with these fractions by Transwell invasion assay. (c) Chromatographic patterns from HPLC analysis of DNE3 extracts showed peaks corresponding to the retention times (minutes). Absorbance was monitored at 254 nm. (d) The main product peak (P1) with a retention time of 16.644 minutes was then subjected to mass spectrometer.
