Research progress of triptolide in treatment of pancreatic cancer
Pancreatic cancer is one of the common malignant tumors of digestive tract,with poor prognosis and late diagnosis.Triptolide is one of the effective ingredients in Tripterygii Radix et Rhizoma,with significant pharmacological activity.Triptolide can treat pancreatic cancer by inhibiting cell cycle and proliferation,inducing apoptosis,inhibiting cell migration and invasion,regulating tumor angiogenesis,cooperating with other drugs to resist drug resistance,inhibiting heat shock protein related genes,inducing autophagy.This article summarized the pharmacological action and mechanism of triptolide in treatment of pancreatic cancer,providing a basis for triptolide to become a candidate drug for the treatment of pancreatic cancer.
