Area of Science:

  • Pharmacology
  • Oncology
  • Natural Products Chemistry

Background:

  • Cancer is a leading global cause of mortality.
  • Angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels, is crucial for tumor growth and metastasis.
  • Anti-angiogenic therapy offers a novel strategy for cancer treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the potential of natural products as a source for novel anti-angiogenic drug discovery.
  • To highlight the prevalence of natural product-derived compounds in current anti-angiogenic clinical trials.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of anti-angiogenic agents.
  • Analysis of compounds in clinical trials for cancer therapy.
  • Identification of natural product origins or inspirations for these agents.

Main Results:

  • A significant proportion of angiogenesis inhibitors in clinical trials are derived from or modeled on natural products.
  • Eleven out of 22 investigated angiogenesis inhibitors have natural product origins.

Conclusions:

  • Natural products represent a valuable and largely untapped resource for the development of effective anti-angiogenic cancer therapies.
  • Further research into natural product-based compounds could yield next-generation cancer treatments.
