Nar kabuğunun, polifenol bakımından zengin olması nedeniyle antikanser potansiyelinin araştırıldığı çalışmalar mevcuttur. Nar kabuğunun, in vitro, in vivo ve klinik deneylerde farklı kanser hücre dizileri üzerinde antiproliferatif etkiler göstermiştir. Bu derlemenin amacı nar kabuğunun çeşitli kanser hastalıklarına karşı fonksiyonel özelliklerini ve tıbbi faydalarını değerlendirmektir. Ek olarak, nar kabuğunun in vitro ve in vivo insan ve hayvan klinik deneylerinde kullanımının çeşitli sağlık sorunları üzerine etkisine de yer verilmiştir. Mevcut veriler, Punica granatum (nar) kabuğunun bazı hastalık durumlarının gelişmesinde engelleyici ve potansiyel terapötik olarak kullanılabileceğini ve insan sağlığına fayda sağladığını göstermektedir. Bu derlemede nar kabuğunun potansiyel sağlık yararları, geleneksel tıbbi tedavide kullanımı ve kanser ilerlemesini engelleme mekanizması vurgulanmıştır.</p></abstract>

                            <p>Pomegranate peel contains powerful antioxidant activity along with potential health benefits. There are studies investigating the anticancer potential of pomegranate peel because it is rich in polyphenols. Pomegranate peel has shown antiproliferative effects on different cancer cell lines in in vitro, in vivo and clinical trials. The purpose of this review is to evaluate the functional properties and medicinal benefits of pomegranate peel against various cancer diseases. In addition, the effects of the use of pomegranate peel in in vitro and in vivo human and animal clinical trials on various health problems are also included. Available data indicate that Punica granatum (pomegranate) peel can be used as an inhibitory and potential therapeutic in the development of some disease conditions and benefits human health. This review highlights the potential health benefits of pomegranate peel, its use in traditional medical therapy, and its mechanism of inhibiting cancer progression.</p></trans-abstract>
