Systematic Literature Review of Bioactive Compounds in Persimmon Vinegar Against Breast Cancer
Abstract
Kanker payudara adalah tumor ganas atau benjolan abnormal yang berkembang di jaringan payudara, baik dari epitel duktus maupun lobulus. Pada tahun 2022, jumlah kasus baru kanker payudara di seluruh dunia mencapai 2,3 juta. Terapi kanker payudara meliputi berbagai metode pengobatan seperti radiasi dan kemoterapi. Namun, terapi ini tidak selektif dan merusak sel normal, menyebabkan efek samping yang merugikan bagi pasien. Cuka kesemek memiliki berbagai manfaat kesehatan, tetapi potensinya dalam pengobatan kanker payudara masih terbatas. Studi ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi senyawa potensial dalam cuka kesemek dan mekanisme kerjanya melawan kanker payudara. Studi ini dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode Tinjauan Literatur Sistematis (SLR) menggunakan basis data Google Scholar, Pubmed, dan ScienceDirect. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa terdapat 13 artikel yang memenuhi kriteria inklusi. Berdasarkan analisis, terdapat 24 senyawa yang memiliki aktivitas antikanker payudara, yaitu β-kriptoksantin, zeaxanthin, β-karoten, likopen, asam galat, katekin, epigallocatechin, asam p-kumarat, asam vanilat, asam kafeat, epikatekin, asam ferulat, gallocatechin, asam klorogenat, epikatekin galat, prosianidin A2, rutin, katekin hidrat, floridzin, asam tartarat, asam suksinat, asam sitrat, betaine, dan 2,3-butanediol. Hasil ini menunjukkan bahwa cuka kesemek berpotensi sebagai pengobatan kemopreventif untuk kanker payudara, memberikan dasar untuk penelitian lebih lanjut tentang pengembangannya.
