Triterpenoids from quinoa bran exert anti-colorectal cancer effects via oxidative stress-mediated apoptosis and immune reactivation

Key Points

• This research aims to explore the effects of triterpenoids from quinoa bran on colorectal cancer (CRC).
• Examination of triterpenoids' effects on oxidative stress and apoptosis in CRC cells.
• Assessment of immune activation via immunogenic cell death (ICD).
• Triterpenoids induce apoptosis in colorectal cancer cells.
• They enhance immune activation, suggesting a dual mechanism of action.
