xiakucao xiaoliu mixture

Xiakucao Xiaoliu Mixture is a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) hospital preparation developed by Yueyang Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, affiliated with the Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Primarily indicated for the treatment of gastric cancer, it is formulated based on the TCM principles of clearing heat, detoxifying, and resolving phlegm to dissipate masses. The mixture's primary active component is derived from *Prunella vulgaris* (Xiakucao). Research suggests its mechanism of action involves the inhibition of the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway and the downregulation of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), which collectively lead to the suppression of tumor cell proliferation, induction of apoptosis, and inhibition of angiogenesis. It is typically used as an adjuvant therapy alongside conventional treatments to improve clinical outcomes and patient quality of life.
