Abstract: α-Hederin is a typical pentacyclic triterpenoid saponin obtained from high-pressure liquid phase mass spectrometry analysis of traditional Chinese medicine Changweiqing.It has a wide range of pharmacological effects,such as anti-tumor,anti-inflammatory and immune-modulation.The most striking of these pharmacological effects is the effect on anti-tumor.With the deepening of research,the molecular mechanism of α-hederin in effect on anti-tumor has made a certain breakthrough.This paper mainly summarizes the research progress of anti-tumor pharmacological action of α-hederin in recent years,and provides a basis for future research and development of α-hederin.

Key words: α-hederin, Anti-tumor, Pharmacological action, Advancement
