摘要Acute myeloid leukemia(AML)is a type of cancer that affects the blood and bone marrow.This review conducts a thorough analysis of AML,addressing its genetic modification.The examination extends to the current therapeutic approaches employed for AML,shedding light on their efficacy and the notable side effects experienced by patients undergoing these treatments,leading to a low overall survival rate.Therefore,exploring alternative treatments,such as phytochemicals,is necessary.Furthermore,the review explores the complex landscape of phytochemicals,categorizing them based on their diverse properties,which include alkaloids,phenols,terpenoids,organo-sulfur compounds,and other com-pounds,including quinones,and elucidating their mechanisms of action.Special emphasis is placed on their involvement in critical signaling pathways,with a particular focus on how these phytochemicals impact AML when evaluated across a spectrum of cell lines.This in-depth exploration aims to uncover potential targets within the molecular landscape of AML where phytochemicals can exert their therapeu-tic effects.The review investigates the potential role of plant-derived phytochemicals as adjunctive ther-apies for AML.This exploration encompasses the identification of specific phytochemicals that exhibit promising anti-leukemic properties and evaluates their potential in clinical settings.Beyond conventional treatments,the review explores the integration of complementary and alternative medicine as a holistic approach to managing AML.The examination encompasses the synergy between conventional therapies and alternative interventions,exploring how these combined strategies may enhance overall therapeutic outcomes and mitigate side effects.From a forward-looking perspective,the overarching goal is to con-tribute to the evolving landscape of AML treatment by considering innovative approaches that harness the therapeutic potential of phytochemicals,both independently and in conjunction with established medical interventions.
