Research progress of plant-derived chemical compounds for overcoming pancreatic cancer drug resistance

Figure 4 Summary of plant-derived chemical compounds. Representative classes of natural compounds with anticancer potential, including polyphenols (e.g., resveratrol, curcumin), flavonoids (e.g., quercetin, apigenin), terpenoids (e.g., paclitaxel, artemisinin), alkaloids (e.g., berberine, camptothecin), organosulfur compounds (e.g., allicin, sulforaphane), and polysaccharides (e.g., lentinan). These bioactive molecules, originating from plants, fungi, and other natural sources, have been extensively investigated for their potential roles in tumor suppression and the modulation of drug resistance.
