Özet

Objective: Malignant melanoma (MM) is the most aggressive skin cancer and treatment options are still limited in the late stages, generally accompanied by BRAF mutations. Usnic acid (UA), a well-known traditional lichen metabolite, has a promising and selective antitumoral activity. However, the effects of UA on MM cells with different genomic profiles in the BRAF aspect have not been investigated yet. In this study, we evaluated the effect of UA on BRAFV600E mutated-A2058 and wild-type MeWo cells.
