Chinese Herbal Medicines (CHM) have been used in disease prevention and treatment for centuries in China. A number of anti-breast cancer agents isolated from CHM recently, showed very interesting structures, although some of the mechanism of action is not quite clear. These unique chemical structures could be an important information resource for new anti-breast cancer drugs' design and discovery. This review summarizes these findings on anti-breast cancer agents from CHM.
中草药(CHM)在中国已被用于疾病的预防和治疗长达数百年之久。最近从 CHM 中分离出的一些抗乳腺癌药物,具有非常有趣的结构,尽管其某些作用机制尚不完全清楚。这些独特的化学结构可能是设计和发现新型抗乳腺癌药物的重要信息资源。本文综述了 CHM 中具有抗乳腺癌作用的药物。
