Polyphenols: Potential Applications in Cancer Therapy

Molecular Nutrition & Food Research, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: March 27, 2025

Polyphenols (PFs) are compounds found in fruits and vegetables, known for their health-related benefits, mainly including antioxidant, antiinflammatory, anticancer properties. However, efficacy is limited by poor bioavailability due to issues like low solubility, rapid metabolism, extensive excretion. Thus, research has focused on improving delivery systems, such as, example, nanoparticles, hydrogels, cocrystals, or conjugation with carrier molecules, which may protect PFs from degradation, improve and/or facilitate targeted cancer cells. promising modulating cancer-related pathways cell proliferation death, metastatic invasion, though translation patients hindered complex mechanisms. This review analyzes factors that affect PF bioavailability, evidences of vivo effects animal models mechanisms, results clinical trials, strategies enhance bioavailability. The idea need directly interact the challenged. Future aims optimize combine standard treatments, explore epigenetic effects, modulation tumor microenvironment, interactions gut microbiota. Advances personalized medicine structural modifications stability absorption could further potential. Despite challenges, remain a avenue complementary oncotherapy solutions.
