Especially for blood cancer cells, papillary cancer, flat cell tumor and soft tissue sarcoma have strong inhibitory effect. Its anticancer mechanism is to inhibit DNA and RNA synthesis of cancer cells, inhibit the activity of cellular protein kinase and the expression of proto-oncogenes, inhibit the toxicity of benzo(a)pyrene and 12-O-14 acylphosphono-13 acetate (TPA) and other carcinogens, and inhibit the formation of tumors at the molecular level. Its LD50 of cancer cells is 0.8~2muM, and its toxicity is far less than that of retinoic acid, therefore, anticancer active substances such as saffronin will become one of the most ideal anticancer drugs in the 21st century.
