Abstract

This review aims to provide information about the anticancer potential of harmine, a β-carboline alkaloid that was initially isolated in 1847 from the seeds and roots of Peganum harmala L. Various studies have revealed that it possesses a wide range of therapeutic qualities, including anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antiviral, antidiabetic, and, most notably, anticancer effects. This review discusses the anticancer capabilities of harmine and its derivatives against malignancies such as breast cancer, lung cancer, gastric cancer, colon cancer, glioblastoma, neuroblastoma, liver cancer, pancreatic cancer and thyroid cancer. Harmine uses mechanisms such as apoptosis and angiogenesis inhibition to fight cancer cells. It also influences the cell cycle by inhibiting specific cyclin-dependent kinases and slowing tumor cell proliferation. Synergistic effects have also been observed when harmine is used in combination with other anticancer medications. Harmine has the potential to be a potent anticancer medication that can help in the fight against cancer.

缬氨酸及其衍生物的抗癌特性
本综述旨在提供有关鹤顶红抗癌潜力的信息,鹤顶红是一种β-咔啉生物碱,最初于1847年从鹤顶红的种子和根中分离出来。各种研究表明,鹤顶红具有广泛的治疗特性,包括抗炎、抗菌、抗病毒、抗糖尿病,以及最显著的抗癌作用。本综述将讨论鹤明及其衍生物对乳腺癌、肺癌、胃癌、结肠癌、胶质母细胞瘤、神经母细胞瘤、肝癌、胰腺癌和甲状腺癌等恶性肿瘤的抗癌能力。Harmine 利用细胞凋亡和血管生成抑制等机制来对抗癌细胞。它还通过抑制特定的细胞周期蛋白依赖性激酶来影响细胞周期,减缓肿瘤细胞的增殖。当哈敏与其他抗癌药物联合使用时,还可以观察到协同效应。哈米那有可能成为一种有效的抗癌药物,有助于抗击癌症。

期刊介绍: Phytochemistry Reviews is the sole review journal encompassing all facets of phytochemistry. It publishes peer-reviewed papers in six issues annually, including topical issues often stemming from meetings organized by the Phytochemical Society of Europe. Additionally, the journal welcomes original review papers that contribute to advancing knowledge in various aspects of plant chemistry, function, biosynthesis, effects on plant and animal physiology, pathology, and their application in agriculture and industry. Invited meeting papers are supplemented with additional review papers, providing a comprehensive overview of the current status across all areas of phytochemistry.
