摘要
Cancer is a complex pathology of great heterogeneity and difficulty that makes the constant search for new therapies necessary. A major advance on the subject has been made by focusing on the development of new drugs aimed to alter the metabolism of cancer cells, by generating a disruption of mitochondrial function. For this purpose, several new compounds with specific mitochondrial action have been tested, leading successfully to cell death. Recently, attention has centered on a group of natural compounds present in plants named polyphenols, among which is caffeic acid, a polyphenol that has proven to be a powerful antitumoral agent and a prominent compound for studies focused on the development of new therapies against cancer.In this review, we revised the antitumoral capacity and mechanisms of action of caffeic acid and its derivatives, with special emphasis in a new class of caffeic acid derivatives that target mitochondria by chemical binding to the lipophilic cation triphenylphosphonium.
