ABSTRACT
Active metabolites from natural sources are the predominant molecular targets in numerous biological studies owing to their appropriate compatibility with biological systems and desirable selective toxicities. Thus, their potential for therapeutic development could span a broad scope of disease areas, including pathological and neurological dysfunctions. Cardiac glycosides are a unique class of specialized metabolites that have been extensively applied as therapeutic agents for the treatment of numerous heart conditions, and more recently, they have also been explored as probable antitumor agents. They are a class of naturally derived compounds that bind to and inhibit Na+/K+-ATPase. This study presents cardiac glycosides and their analogues with highlights on their applications, challenges, and prospects as lead compounds for cancer treatment.
