Thus, the exploitation of the medicinal potential of bioactive compounds in cancer management has become an urgent demand. Arctigenin (AG), a natural lignin derived from\n                    <jats:italic>Arctium lappa<\/jats:italic>\n                    , not only suppresses the proliferation of diverse cancerous cells, including those in the liver, stomach, lungs, and colon, but also modulates various antitumor, intracellular, antioxidative, and anti-inflammatory activities. Arctigenin has also been shown to overcome tumor resistance via cell-cycle arrest, activation of apoptotic pathways, caspase activation, and proteasome regulation. It also downregulates numerous factors implicated in tumor migration and angiogenesis, including VEGF, matrix metalloproteinases, TGF-\u03b2, and N-cadherin. The restricted solubility of arctigenin in water indicates that modifying this compound through amino acid esterification may enhance its pharmacogenetic properties. The use of arctigenin or its derivatives may facilitate the development of novel chemotherapeutic strategies for future therapies. This review identifies common therapeutic targets and cancer-specific responses by comparing mechanistic insights across prostate, cervical, pharyngeal, and other carcinomas. Arctigenin is positioned as a viable option in anticancer research through a critical assessment of current limitations in preclinical and clinical research and by providing future perspectives on translational potential, drug development techniques, and combination therapies. Although there are publications that summarize the mechanism of action of arctigenin, none have explicitly elaborated on its anticancer mechanism across various carcinomas.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fphar.2026.1794520","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,24]],"date-time":"2026-06-24T04:44:07Z","timestamp":1782276247000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Arctigenin as a promising anticancer agent: a comprehensive review of molecular mechanisms across major carcinomas"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Deena","family":"Elsori","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Resilience, Rabdan Academy","place":["Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pratibha","family":"Pandey","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University Centre for Research and Development, Chandigarh University","place":["Mohali, Punjab, India"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mohammad","family":"Abohassan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Laboratory Sciences, College of Applied Medical Sciences, King Khalid University","place":["Abha, Saudi Arabia"]},{"name":"Health and Medical Researches Centre, King Khalid University","place":["Abha, Saudi Arabia"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mohd","family":"Saeed","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biology, College of Science, University of Hail","place":["Hail, Saudi Arabia"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nida","family":"Khan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Medicine, Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, Integral Institute of Medical Sciences & Research, Integral University","place":["Lucknow, India"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sorabh","family":"Lakhanpal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Lovely Professional University","place":["Phagwara, Punjab, India"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Meenakshi","family":"Verma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University Centre for Research and Development, Chandigarh University","place":["Mohali, Punjab, India"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anuj Kumar","family":"Rana","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Applied and Life Sciences, Uttaranchal University","place":["Dehradun, India"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fahad","family":"Khan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Community Medicine, Saveetha Medical College and Hospitals, Saveetha Institute of Medical and Technical Sciences","place":["Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"116497","DOI":"10.1016\/j.biopha.2024.116497","article-title":"Antioxidants activities of phytochemicals perspective modulation of autophagy and apoptosis to treating cancer","volume":"174","author":"Ahmed","year":"2024","journal-title":"Biomed.
