Cancer is the second leading cause of death worldwide,and lung cancer is one of the malignant tumours with the fastest growing morbidity and mortalit and the greatest threat to people's health and lives. In recent years,the research on active ingredients of traditional Chinese medicine to prevent and treat tumours has become more and more in-depth. Huangqi(Astragali Radix)is one of the commonly used anti-tumour Chinese medicines,which has been used in medicine for more than 2000 years,and has been regarded as“the most important medicine for replenishing Qi and spleen”. Astragaloside Ⅳ(AS-Ⅳ)is one of the main active ingredients of Huangqi(Astragali Radix),and modern pharmacological studies have shown that AS-Ⅳ has anticancer,anti-inflammatory,antioxidant and immunomodulatory effects. This paper reviewed the research progress of AS-Ⅳ in lung cancer by collecting and summarizing the mechanisms of AS-Ⅳ in inhibiting tumor cell proliferation,inducing tumor cell apoptosis,inhibiting tumor cell migration and invasion,suppressing epithelial-mesenchymal transition(EMT),regulating autophagy,modulating immune response,alleviating toxic side effects during tumor treatment and enhancing sensitivity to antitumor drugs. The aim was to provide a reference for further research,development and application of AS-Ⅳ in order to support its clinical use.
