ABSTRACT:
Amaryllis belladonna, commonly known as Belladonna Lily or Naked Ladies, is a medicinally significant plant recognized for its rich phytochemical composition, particularly alkaloids such as lycorine and galantamine. These bioactive compounds exhibit diverse pharmacological activities, including anticancer, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, and antioxidant properties. Despite its promising therapeutic potential, the plant contains toxic alkaloids, necessitating caution in its medicinal use. This review comprehensively explores the phytochemical profile, pharmacological activities, toxicological concerns, and ethnobotanical significance of Amaryllis belladonna. It also highlights the challenges of translating preclinical findings into clinical applications, emphasizing the need for further interdisciplinary research, clinical trials, and sustainable conservation strategies. The review aims to provide a foundation for future studies and the potential development of standardized therapeutic formulations derived from this plant.
