Research Development and Optimization Modifications of Anti-cancer peptides.

Anti-cancer peptides play an important role in the area of cancer inhibition. A variety of anti-cancer peptides have emerged through the extraction and structural modification of peptides from biological tissues. This review provides the research background of anti-cancer peptides, the introduction on the mechanism of anti-cancer peptides in inhibition of cancers, the discovery and development of anti-cancer peptides, and the optimization modifications of anti-cancer peptides in the clinical application. In conclusion, anti-cancer peptides will play a greater role in the future oncologic clinic.
