Kaempferol,a natural flavonoid compound,can be extracted from various traditional Chinese medicine,fruits and vegetables.It possesses effective physiological activity,low toxicity and low side effects.It has been revealed by the research results that kaempferol exhibits obvious preventive and inhibitory effects on many common cancers,such as colon cancer,breast cancer,leukemia,etc..The anti-tumor effects are mainly exerted by blocking cell cycle,inhibiting invasion and migration,inducing cell apoptosis and autophagy,and inhibiting aerobic glycolysis of tumors.Meanwhile,the combination of kaempferol and many drugs can produce synergistic anti-tumor and sensitizing effects.The nano-preparation of kaempferol has significant curative effect in the treatment of tumor,which indicates that kaempferol has a good clinical application prospect.In this work,the pharmacological research progress for anti-tumor effect of kaempferol in recent years was reviewed.This article aims to provide theoretical basis and research ideas for further research of kaempferol.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the effect of Huanglian Jiedu Decoction(HLJDD)on the intestinal flora and metabolites of Parkinson's disease(PD)model mice,and explore the mechanism of HLJDD in intervening in PD based on 16S rRNA technology and non-targeted metabolomics technology.METHODS The PD model of mice was induced by subcutaneous injection of MPTP 20 mg·kg-1·d-1 and peritoneal injection of probenecid 200 mg·kg-1·d-1,and the weight and behavior indexes of mice were measured after drug intervention.HPLC-QTRAP-MS/MS technique was used to detect the levels of neurotransmitters in the striatum of mice.The levels of striatal inflammatory factors were detected by ELISA.The changes of intestinal flora in mice were analyzed by 16S rRNA technology.UHPLC-Q-TOF-MS was used to detect endogenous metabolites in mouse striatum,Orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis(OPLS-DA)was adopted to screen potential differential metabolites,and MetaboAnalyst 5.0 was introduced to predict metabolic pathways associated with PD.RESULTS HLJDD significantly improved the motor symptoms and neuroinflammation of PD mice(P<0.01),regulated the level of neurotransmitters,and corrected the intestinal microbiota disorder of PD mice,manifes-ted by the increase of intestinal microbial diversity and the restoration of microbiota profile.After treatment with HLJDD,the abun-dance of Prevotella and Akkermansia in PD mice was significantly increased,and the abundance of Clostridium was decreased(P<0.01).The abnormal metabolite levels were restored mainly by regulating the tryptophan metabolic pathway in the feces and striatum of PD model mice.CONCLUSION HLJDD can significantly improve the pathological damage of PD model mice,and the regulation of disordered intestinal flora and tryptophan metabolism pathway may be the potential mechanism of HLJDD to intervene in PD.

Macrophages have a leading position in the tumor microenvironment (TME) which paves the way to carcinogenesis. Initially, monocytes and macrophages are recruited to the sites where the tumor develops. Under the guidance of different microenvironmental signals, macrophages would polarize into two functional phenotypes, named as classically activated macrophages (M1) and alternatively activated macrophages (M2). Contrary to the anti-tumor effect of M1, M2 exerts anti-inflammatory and tumorigenic characters. In progressive tumor, M2 tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are in the majority, being vital regulators reacting upon TME. This review elaborates on the role of TAMs in tumor progression. Furthermore, prospective macrophage-focused therapeutic strategies, including drugs not only in clinical trials but also at primary research stages, are summarized followed by a discussion about their clinical application values. Nanoparticulate systems with efficient drug delivery and improved antitumor effect are also summed up in this article.
