Cancer is a multi-faceted disease comprised of a combination of genetic,
epigenetic, metabolic and signalling aberrations which severely disrupt the
normal homoeostasis of cell growth and death. Rational developments of highly
selective drugs which specifically block only one of the signalling pathways have
been associated with limited therapeutic success. Multi-targeted prevention of
cancer has emerged as a new paradigm for effective anti-cancer treatment.
Platycodin D, a triterpenoid saponin, is one the major active components of the
roots of Platycodon grandiflorum and possesses multiple biological and
pharmacological properties including, anti-nociceptive, anti-atherosclerosis,
antiviral, anti-inflammatory, anti-obesity, immunoregulatory, hepatoprotective
and anti-tumour activities. Recently, the anti-cancer activity of platycodin D
has been extensively studied. The purpose of this review was to give our
perspectives on the current status of platycodin D and discuss its anti-cancer
activity and molecular mechanisms which may help the further design and conduct
of pre-clinical and clinical trials to develop it successfully into a potential
lead drug for oncological therapy. Platycodin D has been shown to fight cancer by
inducing apoptosis, cell cycle arrest, and autophagy and inhibiting angiogenesis,
invasion and metastasis by targeting multiple signalling pathways which are
frequently deregulated in cancers suggesting that this multi-target activity
rather than a single effect may play an important role in developing platycodin D
into potential anti-cancer drug.
