Research Progress in Pharmacological Effects of Berberine against Brain Tumor and Head-Neck Tumor
Berberine has a wide range of pharmacological activities.In addition to anti-inflammatory,anti-infectious,hypoglycemic,blood-lipid regulating and cardioprotective functions,it has significant anti-tumor effects on gastric cancer,breast cancer,bladder cancer,liver cancer,etc.It is a potential anti-tumor drug.In this article,the pharmacological effects of berberine against head-neck tumors such as thyroid cancer,nasopharyngeal cancer,oral squamous cell carcinoma,tongue cancer,laryngeal cancer and adenoid cystic carcinoma,and brain cancer and the related mechanisms of action are reviewed and analyzed,to provide theoretical support for the subsequent development of berberine.
