Abstract

Cancer treatment is one of the main challenges of global health. For decades, researchers have been trying to find anti-cancer compounds with minimal side effects. In recent years, flavonoids, as a group of polyphenolic compounds, have attracted the attention of researchers due to their beneficial effects on health. Xanthomicrol is one of the flavonoids that has the ability to inhibit growth, proliferation, survival and cell invasion and ultimately tumor progression. Xanthomicrol, as active anti-cancer compounds, can be effective in the prevention and treatment of cancer. Therefore, the use of flavonoids can be suggested as a treatment along with other medicinal agents. It is obvious that additional investigations in cellular levels and animal models are still needed. In this review article, the effects of xanthomicrol on various cancers have been reviewed.
