Research progress on natural products with "selective cytotoxicity" / 中草药

ABSTRACT

At present, anti-tumor chemotherapy drugs used in clinic commonly have serious side effects on normal tissues. Although targeted and antibody anti-tumor drugs have made progress in clinic, the high medical cost makes it difficult for many patients to afford. To find effective and low toxic anti-tumor agents without increasing medical cost, it is still the challenges of current research. Based on the natural products with selective cytotoxicity, we aimed to summarize the research progress, provide ideas for the basic research and clinical development of antitumor agents.
