Honokiol is the active ingredient in the Chinese medicine Magnolia offficinalis. It has many biological effects including moderate anti-tumor properties. Honokiol inhibits the growth of cancerous tumors in vitro and vivo, including lung cancer, gastrointestinal tumours, head-and-neck squamous cells carcinoma, breast, prostate and ovarian tumors. It can target a variety of targets, including apoptosis related signaling, growth factor-mediated pathways, NF-kB pathways, androgen receptors. HNK can enhance the anti-tumor effects of targeted anti-tumors or traditional anti-tumors, and reverse drug resistance in tumor cells against cisplatin doxorubicin paclitaxel etc. The combination of anti-tumor drug and honokiol has the effect of increasing and reversing resistance to drugs. It is used as a biochemical regulatory in clinical practice.

1. Medical field
Honokiol is a pharmacological agent with significant antibacterial, antiinflammatory, and antitumor activities. It’s used in the treatment of digestive system disorders such as acute gastroenteritis, bacillary diarrhoea, and chronic gastritis. It also has neuroprotective effects, can reduce thrombosis and inhibit platelet aggregation. It can also be used to treat mental disorders such as anxiety and depression. Its muscle relaxing properties also make it suitable for athlete rehabilitation and spasticity treatments.
2. Anti-tumor Research
Honokiol has been shown in studies to inhibit the growth and induce apoptosis of cancerous cells, such as glioblastoma and breast cancer. This is done by regulating signaling pathway Akt and ERK1/2. Its antiangiogenic effects can block blood supply to tumors and increase the effectiveness of chemotherapy drugs.
3. Antibacterial oral care
Honokiol is more effective than berberine at inhibiting Streptococcus Mutans (the bacteria that causes caries) and can therefore be used to make anti-caries mouthwash and toothpaste, which reduces dental plaque. It also has an inhibitory effect against Staphylococcus mutans and fungi. This makes it suitable for developing anti-infective medications.
4. Cardiovascular protection
Honokiol inhibits thrombosis and reduces myocardial damage. It can also regulate calmodulin activity (CaM), improve cardiovascular function, and even prevent heart disease. Its antioxidant properties reduce the oxidative damage to blood vessel walls and are useful for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular and cerebral diseases.
5. Food and Health Products
While honokiol has a medical use, it is also useful in health and functional food products. Its antioxidant and anti-aging properties can delay aging or enhance immunity. It has not been widely used in food additives, and further research is needed to determine its safety.
6. Cosmetics and skin products
Honokiol’s anti-inflammatory and antioxidant qualities can be used to reduce skin inflammation, and to protect skin from free radical damage. Its antibacterial properties can also be used to control acne and oil.
7. Agriculture and Plant Protection
Honokiol’s antibacterial and antifungal properties can be used in the development of botanical pesticides to reduce chemical pesticide use and improve crop resistance. Its role in regulating the metabolism of plants may also affect crop growth. However, related research is under investigation.
