Role of elemene in Inhibiting tumor angiogenesis / 国际肿瘤学杂志

ABSTRACT

Elemene is a novel universal non-cytotoxic antitumor drug. Based on downregulation of VEGF expression, induction of apoptosis of vascular endothelial cells and suppression of growth of tumor cell, elemene is becoming helpfully a promising inhibitor of angiogenesis, however, the detail mechanisms remains unclear and needs to be further elucidated.
