Cancer remains a leading global health burden, necessitating exploration of alternative
therapies. This review comparatively analyzes the anticancer potential of three traditional
medicinal plants: Artemisia vulgaris, Cichorium intybus, and Smilax glabra. These plants
exhibit diverse bioactive compounds, including flavonoids, terpenoids, and saponins,
contributing to antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiproliferative, and apoptosis-inducing
effects. Specifically, Artemisia vulgaris induces cytotoxicity via mitochondrial dysfunction
and caspase activation, Cichorium intybus modulates NF-κB and Wnt/β-catenin pathways
to inhibit proliferation, and Smilax glabra induces ROS-mediated apoptosis and modifies
the tumor microenvironment.
