Abstract

Angiogenesis is a major pathological component of diseases like a coronary heart disease and cancer. While major advances have been made and encouraging clinical results obtained, safer and more effective approaches are required. The identification of new drugs from medical plants has a long and successful history, and certain pro-angiogenic and anti-angiogenic plant components have been used in Iranian herbal medicine for thousands of years. More evidence based research and chemical optimization of these compounds could further enhance the effectiveness of these plant-based medicines in angiogenesis therapy. This review aims to assess the current status of research on medical herbs for the development of anti-angiogenic agents for cancer and other angiogenesis related diseases including inflammation, diabetic retinopathy and obesity.
