Abstract
Liver cancer is the most frequent cancer, making it the leading cause of cancer death globally. Traditional medicinal plants with anticancer properties can be used as drugs or dietary adjuvants to existing therapies. This chapter presents a protocol for the preparation of β-sitosterol and β-sitosterol-glucoside from Indigofera zollingeriana Miq (I. zollingeriana) and the evaluation of these for anticancer activity in hepatocellular cells.
