In vitro anticancer properties of anthocyanins: A systematic review

Anthocyanins have been associated with beneficial effects on human health. Cancer has been one of the main public health issues due to its aggressiveness and high mortality rate. This systematic review aimed to address recent research (from January 2000 to September 2021) on the anticancer activity of anthocyanins assessed by in vitro assays. The selected studies revealed that anthocyanins have anticancer potential by inhibiting cancer cell viability and proliferation, controlling cell cycle, and promoting apoptosis.,

Automated summary

This systematic review focused on recent research on the anticancer activity of anthocyanins, and found that these compounds have the potential to inhibit cancer cell viability and proliferation, control cell cycle, and promote apoptosis.
