Abstract:
As a kind of bioactive natural products with unique space structure, triterpenoid is widely used in diminishing inflammation, antibacterial, and protecting liver and kidney. Because of the strong ability of antitumor, it is likely to be developed as a new generation of anticancer drugs. In this review, the antineoplastic mechanism, structure-activity relationship, and pharmacophore improvement were summarized for further research on the antitumor properties of triterpenoid.
