This underscores the growing need for novel therapeutic strategies to complement existing treatments and improve patient outcomes. In recent years, pentacyclic triterpenoids, a group of natural compounds, have emerged as promising candidates for cancer therapy due to their anticancer properties. Pentacyclic triterpenoids, such as lupeol, betulinic acid, betulin, oleanolic acid, ursolic acid, glycyrrhetinic acid, glycyrrhizin, and asiatic acid, have demonstrated the ability to inhibit cell proliferation and angiogenesis, induce apoptosis, suppress metastasis, and modulate inflammatory and immune pathways in NSCLC cell line models. These compounds exert their effects by modulating important signaling pathways such as NF-κB, PI3K/Akt, and MAPK. Furthermore, advances in drug delivery technologies such as nanocarriers and targeted delivery systems have improved the bioavailability and therapeutic efficacy of triterpenoids.
