In the present study, the antitumor effects of the nor‑Oleanane type triterpene saponin, Bigelovii A, isolated from Salicornia bigelovii Torr, were examined. Bigelovii A was demonstrated to inhibit HL‑60 human acute promyelocytic leukaemia cell growth with an IC50 value of 2.15 µg/ml. In addition,
Bigelovii A is a 30‑nortriterpenoid glycoside, isolated from Salicornia bigelovii Torr. Until now, the effect of Bigelovii A on breast cancer treatment was unknown. The present research indicated that Bigelovii A significantly inhibited the proliferation of human breast cancer cells (MCF‑7,
