Targeting Cancer Through Autophagy With Β-Elemene and Puerarin |Biomedgrid

Cancer remains the second foremost cause of mortality around the world; therefore immediate development of highly effective and safe therapy is important. Different therapies are used for cancer treatment, but natural products (NPs) are considered more effective and less toxic. β-elemene (ELE) and Puerarin are the important NPs for the treatment of different cancers. Recently, its anticancer mechanisms through autophagy have been reported, therefore we summarized its molecular mechanisms. This review may serve as the basis for the future research on these NPs against cancer through autophagy.
