Plants are a valuable source of drugs for cancer treatment. has been investigated for its health properties. In particular, L. subsp. , the common edible carrot root, has been found to be rich in bioactive compounds such as carotenoids and dietary fiber and contains many other functional components with significant health-promoting features, while L. subsp. (Apiacae), also known as wild carrot, has been usually used for gastric ulcer therapy, diabetes, and muscle pain in Lebanon. Here, we review the chemical composition of L. and the functional properties of both edible and wild carrot subspecies. Then, we focus on compounds with anticancer characteristics identified in both subspecies, and we discuss their potential use in the development of novel anticancer therapeutic strategies.
植物是癌症治疗药物的重要来源。[植物名称]已被研究其健康特性。特别是，[植物名称]亚种，常见的食用胡萝卜根，已被发现富含生物活性化合物，如类胡萝卜素和膳食纤维，并且含有许多其他具有显著促进健康特征的功能成分，而[植物名称]亚种（伞形科），也被称为野胡萝卜，通常用于治疗黎巴嫩的胃溃疡、糖尿病和肌肉疼痛。在这里，我们回顾了[植物名称]的化学成分和可食用和野生胡萝卜亚种的功能特性。然后，我们专注于在这两个亚种中发现的具有抗癌特性的化合物，并讨论它们在开发新型抗癌治疗策略中的潜在用途。
