Ovarian cancer continues to be a significant challenge, with drug resistance remaining a major obstacle to successful treatment. Dihydromyricetin (DHM), a natural flavonoid, is emerging as a potent agent with profound effects on ovarian cancer cells. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. highlights key findings regarding DHM's impact on apoptosis and chemoresistance.

Research indicates that DHM effectively inhibits the proliferation of ovarian cancer cells and crucially, induces apoptosis. This process is often mediated by the activation of the p53 pathway, a critical regulator of cell death. By engaging the p53 pathway, DHM can trigger programmed cell death in cancerous cells, a vital step in controlling tumor progression.

A groundbreaking aspect of DHM's action is its ability to reverse chemoresistance. Studies have shown that DHM can significantly sensitize paclitaxel (PTX) and doxorubicin (DOX) resistant ovarian cancer cells. This is achieved through the downregulation of Survivin, a protein that inhibits apoptosis. By reducing Survivin levels, DHM makes cancer cells more vulnerable to conventional chemotherapeutic agents, offering a new strategy to combat treatment failure.

The precise mechanisms involve p53-mediated downregulation of Survivin. This interplay highlights DHM's sophisticated action at the molecular level. For researchers and pharmaceutical developers looking for high-purity DHM, NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. offers a reliable source to advance studies in this critical area of cancer therapy.
