Alkaloids, Cholangiocarcinoma, Risk Factors, Signalling PathwayAbstract
Throughout the biliary tree, a variety of cells give rise to cholangiocarcinomas, a broad group of malignancies. The fact that these tumours are silent and asymptomatic, especially in their early stages, seriously impairs the effectiveness of available therapeutic options and contributes to their poor prognosis. Over the past few years, increased efforts have been made to identify the aetiology and signalling pathways of these tumours and to create more potent therapies. Since alkaloids are more potent and effective against cholangiocarcinoma cell lines, they have gained importance in the treatment of cholangiocarcinoma. In cell lines with cholangiocarcinoma, they promote apoptosis. and restrict the spread of cells, departure, and development. This review highlights the recent developments in the study of CCA, primarily concentrating on the regulation of the signalling pathway and revealing alkaloids demonstrating strong anti-cholangiocarcinoma efficacy, providing researchers with a rapid approach for the future development of powerful and efficient pharmaceutical compounds.
