Abstract

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a highly lethal type of lung cancer and the current therapeutic challenges remain daunting. Alkaloids have become a compelling area of research due to their diverse structures and wide range of biological activities and are considered as potential antitumor agents. In this paper, we review the research progress of different classes of representative alkaloidal actives in recent years in terms of their anti NSCLC effects, with a view to provide a reference for alkaloidal actives in anti NSCLC research.
