Description
Dioscin is extracted from Dioscorea nipponica. Rhizoma Dioscoreae Nipponicae is
the dry rhizome of this plant. It can be orally used to treat joint pain, arthritis,
malaria, and chronic bronchitis. In addition, it can also be used externally to treat
sore carbuncle swollen. Rhizoma Dioscoreae Nipponicae is commonly used in the
northeast region, Shanxi province, and Shandong province of China.

Uses
Dioscin, a natural steroid saponin that has been shown to promote anticancer activity against several forms of cancers. Dioscin induces cancer cell apoptosis through elevated oxidative stress mediated by downregulation of peroxiredoxins.
