Baicalin and baicalein in modulating tumor microenvironment for cancer treatment: A comprehensive review with future perspectives.

Baicalin and baicalein, derived from a Chinese medicinal plant, have low toxicity to normal cells and exhibit anticancer activities. They regulate tumor microenvironmental cells and extracellular matrix, inhibiting tumor angiogenesis, progression, and metastasis. Further research is needed to improve their bioavailability and clinical applications.

Sulfated polysaccharides of Laetiporus sulphureus fruiting bodies exhibit anti-breast cancer activity through cell cycle arrest, apoptosis induction, and inhibiting cell migration.

This study investigated the difference between polysaccharides (PS) and sulfated polysaccharides (SPS) in Laetiporus sulphureus mushrooms. SPS have not been previously reported in mushrooms. Understanding these differences could contribute to identifying potential anti-breast cancer agents.
