[Advance in the anti-tumor mechanism of triptolide]
Abstract
Triptolide, an epoxidated diterpene lactone compound separated from a traditional Chinese medicine, Tripterygium wilfordiiHook. f (TWHF), is responsible for the anti-tumor activity of TWHF with broad spectrum and high performance. The antitumor mechanism of triptolide locates in many fields, such as inducing apoptosis of tumor cell, interfering in the cell cycle, and suppressing angiogeneis. The advance in the anti-tumor mechanism of triptolide is described in the following review.
