Abstract
Historically, natural plant-derived drugs received a great impact of consideration in the treatment of several human-associated disorders. Cancer is a devastating disease and the second most cause of mortality. Sanguinarine (SANG), a naturally isolated plant alkaloidal agent, possesses chemo-preventive effects. Several studies have revealed that SANG impedes tumor metastasis and development by disrupting a wide range of cell signaling pathways and its molecular targets, such as BCL-2, MAPKs, Akt, NF-κB, ROS, and microRNAs (miRNAs). However, its low chemical stability and poor oral bioavailability remain key issues in its use as a medicinal molecule. A novel method (e.g., liposomes, nanoparticles, and micelles) and alternative analogs provide an exciting approach to alleviate these problems and broaden its pharmacokinetic profile. Cancer-specific miRNA expression is synchronized by SANG, which has also been uncertain. In this critical study, we review the utilization of SANG mimics and nano-technologies to improve its support in cancer. We focus on recently disclosed studies on SANG anti-cancer properties.
Keywords: Sanguinarine, cancer, natural agent, nanoparticle, molecular target, chemo-preventive effects.
