紫檀芪抗肿瘤作用机制研究进展

Emerging Actions of Pterostilebene on Cancer Research

紫檀芪(3,5-二甲氧基-4’-羟基二苯乙烯)是一种主要存在于蓝莓、葡萄和花榈木中的多酚类化合物。已有的研究发现紫檀芪具有抗肺癌、乳腺癌、胃癌、结肠癌等多种肿瘤的抗癌作用。其作用机制涉及调控影响多种肿瘤生物学特性。此外,紫檀芪具有比白藜芦醇更高的生物利用度和生物活性,其抗肿瘤作用和机制值得深入探讨和研究。

Pterostilbene(3,5-dimethoxy-4’-hydroxystilbene) is a polyphenolic compound primarily found in blueberries, grapes, and a tree wood, pterocarpus marsupium. Studies demonstrate that pterostilbene inhibits a variety of cancers, such as lung, breast, stomach, colon, etc. The anti-cancer activities are related to the regulation of several hallmarks of cancer. Moreover, pterostilbene exhibits much greater bioavailability and bioactivity than resveratrol which warrants further investigation in the anti-cancer functions and mechanisms.
