The Effects of Iridin and Irigenin on Cancer: Comparison with Well-Known Isoflavones in Breast, Prostate, and Gastric Cancers
2025
Overview
Cancer, a worldwide problem and one of the leading causes of death due to uncontrolled cell proliferation, can be caused by various factors, such as genetic and environmental factors. Apoptosis is a programmed cell death mechanism that eliminates abnormal cells or renews cells. There are two main apoptotic pathways: intrinsic and extrinsic pathways. These pathways can be affected by various signaling pathways in cancer, such as the PI3K/AKT, MAPK, Wnt, and JAK/STAT pathways. Numerous approaches to cancer treatment have been studied, and among them, natural compounds have been actively researched. Flavonoids are natural compounds from fruits and vegetables and have been studied for their anti-cancer effects. Isoflavones, one of the subclasses of flavonoids, are usually found in soy food or legumes and are effective in several bioactive functions. The well-known isoflavones are genistein, daidzein, and glycitein. Irigenin and iridin can be extracted from the Iris family. Both irigenin and iridin are currently being studied for anti-inflammation, antioxidant, and anti-cancer by inducing apoptosis. In this review, we summarized five isoflavones, genistein, daidzein, glycitein, irigenin, and iridin and their effects on three different cancers: breast cancer, prostate cancer, and gastric cancer.
