Progress on the mechanism of action of emodin against breast cancer cells

At present, the role of active ingredients of traditional Chinese medicine in tumor therapy has gradually attracted people's attention, and anthraquinones, which are structurally similar to adriamycin and epirubicin, are one of the hotspots of research. Emodin (1,3,8-trihydroxy-6-methylanthraqu...

description At present, the role of active ingredients of traditional Chinese medicine in tumor therapy has gradually attracted people's attention, and anthraquinones, which are structurally similar to adriamycin and epirubicin, are one of the hotspots of research. Emodin (1,3,8-trihydroxy-6-methylanthraquinone) is a natural anthraquinone compound isolated from rhubarb, Polygonum cuspidatum, and aloe vera. In recent years, emodin has received widespread attention for its remarkable anti-tumor effects, and its anti-breast cancer effects are manifested as induction of apoptosis, inhibition of tumor cell proliferation, inhibition of invasion and metastasis of tumor cells, and anti-tumor drug resistance. Moreover, emodin can act against multiple types of breast cancer cells by acting on different targets. In this paper, we reviewed the latest research progress on the anti-breast cancer effects of emodin and its anti-tumor mechanism, to provide reference and information for the treatment of breast cancer and the development of anti-tumor drugs.
