Poria cocos is a type of traditional Chinese medicine which has rich pharmacological effects, including anti-tumor, liver protection, diuretic, anti-aging, anti-inflammatory, lowering blood lipids, and enhancing immunity. The chemical components of Poria Cocos mainly include polysaccharides, triterpenes, fatty acids, sterols and enzymes, among which Poria Cocos and triterpenes play an important role in antitumor, liver protection and antiaging. Modern research shows that poria can improve the therapeutic effect of chemotherapy drugs in cancer, reduce the negative effects of chemoradiotherapy and prevent the proliferation of cancer cells. Triterpenoid components, such as caroicimaric acid, can inhibit tumor cell proliferation by regulating the cycle and promoting tumor cell apoptosis. As a traditional Chinese medicine, poria has great potential in antitumor applications.
