Abstract

Quercetin, a natural flavonoid compound, is a potent cancer therapeutic agent widely found in fruit and vegetables. It has been reported to induce growth inhibition and apoptosis in both A549 and H1299 human lung cancer cells. However, the effect of quercetin‐induced autophagy on apoptosis and the possible autophagy mechanism in A549 and H1299 cells have not yet been critically examined.
