“…[ 4 ] Studies have shown that P. americana contains a wide range of active ingredients, including amino acids, polysaccharides, nucleosides, and peptides, of which amino acids account for the highest proportion, with a total of 43.17% of free amino acids and 35.37% of essential amino acids after acid hydration. [ 5 – 9 ] Studies have demonstrated a diverse range of therapeutic effects of P. americana , such as antifibrotic, [ 10 , 11 ] anti-inflammatory, [ 12 ] antioxidation, [ 13 ] antitumor, [ 5 , 14 , 15 ] immunoregulatory effects, [ 16 ] and promotion of tissue repair.

Fibrosis is the end stage of many chronic inflammatory diseases and eventually leads to organ failure. Periplaneta americana (P. americana) is referred to as “the product of flesh and blood” in traditional Chinese medicine and has a wide range of therapeutic effects. Owing to the growing interest in this insect for its application in the treatment of tissue injury-healing disorders that induce organ fibrosis, it has attracted the interest of researchers. A literature search was performed using core collections of electronic databases, such as PubMed, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and Wanfang, using the keywords given below and terms such as pharmacological and biochemical details of this insect. P. americana extracts presented a wide range of therapeutic and biological activities, including antifibrotic, antiinflammatory, antioxidative, and tissue repair activities. Emerging evidence suggests that P. americana extracts may improve scarring, pulmonary fibrosis, liver fibrosis, and kidney fibrosis through the regulation of fibroblast activation, cytokine secretion, and deposition of fibrin, indicating the potential role of P. americana as a therapeutic option for organ fibrosis. P. americana is a potential therapeutic agent for treating fibrosis. Further studies are required for a more in-depth characterization of the antifibrogenic mechanism of P. americana prior to its clinical application in the treatment of organ fibrosis. (Fig. 1).
