Research progress on the mechanism of sinomenine in the treatment of breast cancer
Sinomenine is an alkaloid monomer extracted from Caulis Sinomenii.Sinomenine was initially known for its anti-inflammatory and immunosuppression,and is mainly used in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis(RA)and autoimmune diseases.In recent years,sinomenine have been found that it could also play an anti-breast cancer(BC)role through a variety of mechanisms,and less adverse reactions.This article reviewed the mechanism of sinomenine in the treatment of BC,in order to in order to promote the development of more studies of sinomenine in anti-tumor aspects,and provide a theoretical basis for its use in the treatment of BC.
