Progress of brucine and its preparations / 肿瘤研究与临床

The inhibiting mechanisms of brucine to cancer cells included inducing the apoptosis of cancer cells, inhibiting the proliferation of cancer cells, preventing cell adhesion and transfer. This paper reviews the function of brucine and its anti-tumor preparations, and compares the efficacy and adverse reactions between brucine related preparations and traditional drugs to evaluate its anti-tumor effects. Furthermore, more exploration on the inhibiting mechanisms is necessary for the patients to obtain safe and effective drugs.
