The steroidal saponins are one of the saponin types that exist in an unbound state and have various pharmacological activities,such as anticancer,anti-inflammatory,antiviral,antibacterial and nerves-calming properties.Cancer is a growing health problem worldwide.Significant progress has been made to understand the antitumor effects of steroidal saponins in recent years.According to reported findings,steroidal saponins exert various antitumor activities,such as inhibiting proliferation,inducing apoptosis and autophagy,and regulating the tumor microenvironment,through multiple related signaling pathways.This article focuses on the advances in domestic and foreign studies on the antitumor activity and mechanism of actions of steroidal saponins in the last five years to provide a scientific basis and research ideas for further development and clinical application of steroidal saponins.
