Research advances in anti-leukemia activities of natural compounds
Natural compounds isolated from plants exhibit significant anti-leukemia activity
and related mechanisms include inhibiting proliferation
inducing apoptosis and differentiation
promoting cell cycle arrest
and reversing drug resistance of leukemia cells. They can act as therapeutic or adjuvant agents to improve the efficacy of conventional chemotherapy and radiotherapy. This article reviews the research on the anti-leukemia activity of natural compounds and the signaling pathways involved in the anti-leukemia effect of different natural compounds based on their chemical structures
so as to provide a theoretical basis for the clinical application of natural compounds and the development of new drugs.
