Announcing a new publication for Acta Materia Medica journal. Icaritin (ICA) is a prenylflavonoid natural product extracted from plants of the Epimedium genus. The approval of ICA softgel capsules as a class 1.2 traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) innovative drug represents a major advancement offering a novel therapeutic approach for patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Class 1.2 TCM innovative drugs generally denote extracts and formulations derived from single plants, animals, minerals, or other substances. ICA exhibits diverse pharmacological effects, encompassing anti-inflammatory, immune-regulatory, anti-oxidation, anti-osteoporosis, anti-depression, and notably anti-cancer properties.
This article presents a comprehensive overview of the molecular mechanisms underlying the anti-cancer properties of ICA, and further highlights recent progress in use of ICA in cancer research, discusses present challenges, and examines potential opportunities for ICA application and further development.

Testimonials

For well over a decade, in my capacity as a researcher, broadcaster, and producer, I have relied heavily on Alphagalileo.
All of my work trips have been planned around stories that I've found on this site.
The under embargo section allows us to plan ahead and the news releases enable us to find key experts.
Going through the tailored daily updates is the best way to start the day. It's such a critical service for me and many of my colleagues.
Koula Bouloukos, Senior manager, Editorial & Production Underknown
We have used AlphaGalileo since its foundation but frankly we need it more than ever now to ensure our research news is heard across Europe, Asia and North America. As one of the UK’s leading research universities we want to continue to work with other outstanding researchers in Europe. AlphaGalileo helps us to continue to bring our research story to them and the rest of the world.
Peter Dunn, Director of Press and Media Relations at the University of Warwick
AlphaGalileo has helped us more than double our reach at SciDev.Net. The service has enabled our journalists around the world to reach the mainstream media with articles about the impact of science on people in low- and middle-income countries, leading to big increases in the number of SciDev.Net articles that have been republished.
