Lung Cancer

Evidence-based overview of polydatin in lung cancer, including apoptosis, cell-cycle arrest, and cisplatin-synergy findings

Polydatin has strong preclinical relevance in lung cancer, especially in non-small-cell lung cancer models.

Overview

The lung cancer literature centres on apoptosis, S-phase arrest, and synergy with cisplatin.

Key findings

  • Inhibits proliferation of A549 and NCI-H1975 lung cancer cells in a dose-dependent manner

  • Causes apoptosis and S-phase cell-cycle arrest

  • Increases Bax and decreases Bcl-2

  • Suppresses cyclin D1 expression

  • Acts as a potential NOX5 agonist in NSCLC, enhancing cisplatin antitumour activity

Practical interpretation

The lung cancer evidence is still preclinical, but consistently supports polydatin as a redox-active and apoptosis-promoting adjunct.
