摘要

Abstract

The discovery of novel antitumor agents derived from natural plants is a principal objective of anticancer drug research. Frankincense

a widely recognized natural antitumor medicine

has undergone a systematic review encompassing its species

chemical constituents

and diverse pharmacological activities and mechanisms. The different species of frankincense include

Boswellia serrata

Somali frankincense

Boswellia frereana

and

Boswellia arabica

. Various frankincense extracts and compounds exhibit antitumor

anti-inflammatory

and hepatoprotective properties and antioxidation

memory enhancement

and immunological regulation capabilities. They also have comprehensive effects on regulating flora. Frankincense and its principal chemical constituents have demonstrated promising chemoprophylactic and therapeutic abilities against tumors. This review provides a systematic summary of the mechanism of action underlying the antitumor effects of frankincense and its major constituents

thus laying the foundations for developing effective tumor-combating targets.
