Research progress on anti-tumor mechanisms of icaritin and its related derivatives
This paper reviews the anti-tumor mechanisms of icaritin and its related derivatives. Icaritin and its related derivatives show the inhibitory effects on the tumors of different types. Its mechanisms mainly include induction of cell apoptosis,regulation of cell cycle,anti-angiogenesis,inhibition of tumor metastasis and immune regulation.
