    Abstract: Norcantharidin (NCTD) is a demethylated water-soluble synthetic small molecule of cantharidin (CTD), has been reported that it has anticancer activities including apoptosis and anti-angiogenesis. NCTD reduced VEGF production and the expression of integrin-β1 in tumor cells even at the low concentrations with less toxicity to the kidney or liver, an... Show More
