Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a new application of a tetracyclic triterpenoid compound cucurbitacin E (Cucurbitacin E), in particular to the application of the cucurbitacin E in the preparation of drugs for inhibiting angiogenesis. Background technique
[0002] Angiogenesis is the process of generating new blood vessels on the basis of existing blood vessels. Angiogenesis has multiple steps: proliferation, migration, invasion and microtubule formation of vascular endothelial cells, recruitment of perivascular cells and acquisition of new matrix membrane.
[0003] Angiogenesis usually occurs only in the embryo and later in embryonic development, the reproductive cycle and wound healing. In pathological conditions (solid tumor invasion, migration, diabetic retinopathy, hemangioma, arthritis, psoriasis and atherosclerosis, etc.), the disease is associated with persistent angiogenesis.
[0004] Malignant tumors pose a great threat to human health for a long t...
