Abstract
This review examines the drug-like, cancer-suppressing, and food-based properties of paclitaxel, naringenin, and quercetin while emphasizing their therapeutic pathways and molecular functions. The chemotherapeutic agent paclitaxel stabilizes microtubules for cell cycle arrest, and naringenin alongside quercetin shows strong anticancer responses, antioxidant effects, and anti-inflammatory actions. The review explains how these compounds serve in cancer treatment together with their pharmacological mechanisms and it describes how novel drug delivery systems boost their therapeutic potential and bioavailability. Drug-testing evidence as well as patent documentation reveals increasing attention toward these drug compounds in cancer treatment. The three compounds paclitaxel, naringenin, and quercetin show great potential as cancer treatment and prevention agents while researchers continue to develop their clinical performance advanced through ongoing studies.
