Abstract
For the first time, β-asparagine was isolated from burdock roots and identified. It was established that β-asparagine extracted from roots exhibits cytostatic and apoptosis-inducing activity. Synthetic L-asparagine (manufactured in Japan) exhibits neither cytostatic nor apoptosis-inducing activity.
