In the current period of drug development, natural products have provided an unrivaled supply of anticancer medications. By modifying the cancer microenvironment and various signaling pathways, natural products and their derivatives and analogs play a significant role in cancer treatment. These substances are effective against several signaling pathways, particularly the cell death pathways (apoptosis and autophagy) and embryonic developmental pathways (Notch, Wnt, and Hedgehog pathways). Natural products have a long history, but more research is needed to understand their current function in the research and development of cancer treatments and the potential for natural products to serve as a significant source of therapeutic agents in the future. Several target-specific anticancer medications failed to treat cancer, necessitating research into natural compounds with multiple target properties. To help develop a better treatment plan for managing breast cancer, this review has outlined the anticancerous potential of several therapeutic approaches targeting the notch signaling system in breast tumors.
在当前的药物研发阶段,天然产物为抗癌药物提供了无与伦比的供应。天然产物及其衍生物和类似物通过调节癌症微环境和各种信号通路,在癌症治疗中发挥着重要作用。这些物质对几种信号通路有效,特别是细胞死亡通路(凋亡和自噬)和胚胎发育通路(Notch、Wnt 和 Hedgehog 通路)。天然产物历史悠久,但需要更多的研究来了解它们在癌症治疗的研究和开发中的当前功能,以及天然产物作为未来治疗剂的重要来源的潜力。一些针对特定靶点的抗癌药物未能治疗癌症,因此需要研究具有多种靶点特性的天然化合物。为了帮助制定更好的乳腺癌管理治疗计划,本综述概述了几种针对乳腺癌肿瘤 Notch 信号系统的治疗方法的抗癌潜力。
