藏红花主要活性成分抗肿瘤作用及协同治疗机制的研究进展
恶性肿瘤是全球重大公共卫生问题,极大的影响着人类健康和社会经济发展。传统的治疗方法主要包括手术、化疗、放疗、靶向治疗和免疫治疗等等,这些方法不同程度地应用于临床治疗过程中并取得了一些效果,但同时也存在着药物响应率低、转移和复发率较高、不良反应严重等亟待解决的问题。因此,继续开发新的治疗方式以改善恶性肿瘤患者的预后。而中药因其多靶点、多通路和安全性较高等特点而被高度重视。藏红花(saffron crocus)作为名贵中药材,其主要成分在抗肿瘤,增强免疫力,降血脂,抗高血压,抗抑郁,抗炎等都具有很好的药理活性。本文就藏红花的药理作用及其活性成分抗肿瘤的作用及协同治疗机制展开论述。
