Review on the Applications and Molecular Mechanisms of Xihuang Pill in Tumor Treatment

Figure 1

Effects and molecular mechanisms of Xihuang pill (XH) and its phytochemicals on tumor treatment. XH could prevent the progression and metastasis of tumors by inhibiting the growth, invasion, and angiogenesis of tumor cells and cancer stem cells. XH can also enhance immunity and reverse the immune suppressive microenvironment (myeloid-derived suppressor cells). Some of the compounds found in XH can inhibit various tumor cells by acting on multiple targets and regulating the metabolism, transportation, or absorption of one another.
