Atractylenolide I (AI) is a natural sesquiterpene lactone isolated from Atractylodes macrocephala Koidz, known as Baizhu in traditional Chinese medicine. AI has been found to ameliorate cancer cachexia in clinic cancer patients and in tumour‐bearing mice. Here, we checked the influence of AI on biogenesis of IL‐6 and extracellular vesicles (EVs) in cancer cachexia mice and then focused on studying mechanisms of AI in inhibiting the production of tumour‐derived EVs, which contribute to the ameliorating effects of AI on cancer cachexia.
