The use of current anticancer drugs is hampered by significant side effects and high costs. In the pursuit of safer, more effective, and affordable options, researchers have turned to nature as a valuable source of potential anticancer compounds. Quassinoids, a class of natural terpenoids, have garnered attention for their anticancer properties. This comprehensive review aims to shed light on natural quassinoids and their anticancer effects, offering valuable insights for researchers dedicated to the development of novel anticancer therapeutics.

However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
