Application
A Crude Medicine Ingredients with Strong Anticancer Effects
Zicao, a traditional Chinese herbal medicine made from the dried root of Lithospermum erythrorhizon, has been used for the topical treatment of wounds in the form of oil-based ointment for several hundred years.1) The naphthoquinone (±)-shikonin is the main active substance of Zicao, and has been shown to possess many diverse properties including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antithrombotic, antimicrobial, and wound healing effects. In particular, many studies have demonstrated that shikonin exerts strong anticancer effects on various types of cancer by anti-angiogenesis, inhibiting cell proliferation and migration, inducing apoptosis, autophagy, and necroptosis.1-4) Shikonin also triggers Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) generation, suppressing exosome release, and activate anti-tumor immunity in multiple molecular mechanisms.4) (The product is for research purpose only.)
