“…Since its isolation in 1951 and structural elucidation in 1954, different biological activities have been attributed to pristimerin (Kulkarni and Shah, 1954). Among these activities are anti-inflammatory (Kim, Park and Kim, 2013;Zhao et al, 2020), antioxidant (Shaaban et al, 2018), antimalarial (Figueiredo et al, 1998), antibacterial (López, de León and Moujir, 2011), and anti-tumor (Yousef et al, 2016;Yousef et al, 2017;Lee et al, 2018;Cevatemre, et al, 2018;Zhao et al, 2019;Li et al, 2019;Chen et al, 2021;Al-Tamimi et al, 2022). The cytotoxic activity observed in several tumor lines was related to the fact that pristimerin presents antiproliferative activity involving apoptosis or programmed cell death (Li et al, 2019), autophagy (Cevatemre, et al, 2018), and inhibition of signaling pathways such as nuclear factor Kappa B (NF-κB) (Tu et al, 2018), Akt (kinase protein B, PKB) (Park and Kim, 2018), modulation of MAPK signaling pathways (Al-Tamimi et al, 2022), among others.…”
