The Potential of Resveratrol as an Anticancer Agent: Updated Overview of Mechanisms, Applications, and Perspectives

Abstract

Resveratrol, a natural polyphenol found in many plants It has received a lot of attention due to its beneficial effects on health and anti-cancer potential. Various studies Resveratrol has been shown to alter various signaling pathways. linked to the development of cancer and inhibits the development and spread of tumors by acting against cell proliferation. stimulate cell death anti-inflammatory and resists the creation of new blood vessels Resveratrol's role in regulating oxidative stress and genetic alterations also increases its potential as a treatment. However, despite the promising results of preclinical studies, But its clinical application still has some limitations, such as absorption, metabolism, and drug dosage. This updated review article explores the mechanisms. including a structural perspective Behind Resveratrol's Anticancer Properties Emphasis is placed on effects on key signaling networks in various cancer models. It will also discuss the current limitations of resveratrol therapy. and suggest possible improvements through new delivery methods. Using multiple drugs together and development of new derivatives This review is designed to provide an update on existing work in the literature. Therefore, special emphasis is given to works reported in the literature in the last 5 years.
