Research progress on pharmacological effects of dihydroquercetin
Dihydroquercetin is a flavonoid compound extracted from plants and is widely distributed in nature.It has many pharmacological effects such as anti-tumor(such as liver cancer,lung cancer,breast cancer,colorectal cancer,gastric cancer,bone cancer,cervical cancer),anti-inflammatory,antioxidation,antifibrosis,antiallergy,antiapoptosis and antivirus.The existing literature on dihydroquercetin in antioxidation,anti-inflammatory,antifibrosis and antiapoptosis research is relatively perfect;however,there is a lack of summary of research on antivirus and antitumor.In this paper,the pharmacological effects of dihydroquercetin are summarized at home and abroad in recent years,especially its antitumor activity,which provides a theoretical basis for further research and further medicinal development.
