A comprehensive review of antitumor properties of Angelica species and their antitumor-responsible constituents and the underlying molecular mechanisms involved in tumor inhibition

© 2023 John Wiley & Sons Ltd..

Angelica species have been traditionally used for their medicinal properties. Recent studies have suggested their potential use as anticancer agents, making them an area of interest for further research. The review aims to summarize the current understanding of the potential anticancer effects of Angelica species and to provide insights for further research in this area. We searched for "Angelica" related information on Google Scholar, PubMed, ScienceDirect, Wiley, Science Citation Index Finder, and Springer link by searching keywords such as "Angelica," "Angelica phytochemical," "Angelica antitumor effect," "Angelica molecular mechanisms," and "Angelica clinical application." Included articles focused on the Angelica plant's anticancer properties and clinical studies, while non-cancer-related biological or phytochemical investigations were excluded. We conducted a comprehensive search of books, journals, and databases published between 2001 and 2023, identifying 186 articles for this narrative review. The articles were analyzed for their potential anticancer properties and therapeutic applications. Active compounds in the Angelica genus, such as coumarins, furanocoumarins, phthalides, and polysaccharides, exhibit anticancer properties through various mechanisms. Specific species, like A. archangelica, Angelica sinensis, A. gigas, and A. ksiekie, have the potential as anticancer agents by targeting cellular pathways, generating reactive oxygen species, and inducing apoptotic cell death. Further research into the properties of the Angelica genus is needed for developing new treatments for cancer. Phytochemicals from Angelica species possess potential as anticancer agents, requiring further research for the development of effective, low-cost, and low-toxicity cancer treatments compared to synthetic antitumor drugs.
