Abstract
Eleven new steroidal alkaloids, along with nine known related compounds, were isolated from the bulbs of Fritillaria sinica. Seven pairs of diastereomers were identified, including six and four 20-deoxy cevanine-type steroidal alkaloid diastereomers with molecular weights of 413 and 415, respectively. Structures were elucidated based on spectroscopic data analysis, chemical derivatization, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Compounds 5, 9, 11, 12, 16, and 20 exhibited significant in vitro cytotoxic activity against non-small-cell lung cancer with CC50 values from 6.8 ± 3.9 to 12 ± 5 μM.

Abstract
Steroidal alkaloids possess the basic steroidal skeleton with a nitrogen atom in rings or side chains incorporated as an integral part of the molecule. They have demonstrated a wide range of biological activities, and some of them have even been developed as therapeutic drugs, such as abiraterone acetate (Zytiga®), a blockbuster drug, which has been used for the treatment of prostate cancer. Structurally diverse natural steroidal alkaloids present a wide spectrum of biological activities, which are attractive for natural product chemistry and medicinal chemistry communities. This review comprehensively covers the structural classification, isolation and various biological activities of 697 natural steroidal alkaloids discovered from 1926 to October 2021, with 363 references being cited.

Abstract
Three new C27-steroidal glycoalkaloids, spiralosides A-C (1-3), were obtained from the total alkaloids of Solanum spirale by chromatographic methods. On the basis of spectroscopic evidence, spiralosides A-C were elucidated as (22R,25S)-22,26-epiminocholest-5-ene-3β,16α-diol-N-acetyl-3-O-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→4)-β-D-glucopyranosyl (1), (22R,25S)-22,26-epiminocholest-5-ene-3β,16α-diol-N-acetyl-3-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl (2), (22R,25S)-22,26-epiminocholest-3β,16α-diol-N-acetyl-3-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl (3), respectively. The total alkaloids of S. spirale have been screened for their antitussive and expectorant effects in intact animal model.

Abstract
Five new amino γ-butenolides, fritenolide A (1), B (2), C (3), D (4), and E (5), along with four known compounds, were isolated from the bulbs of Fritillaria unibracteata. Their structures were determined by spectroscopic analysis, including 1D NMR, 2D NMR, HRESIMS, HRESIMS/MS, IR, and CD techniques. All isolates were evaluated for the protective activity on injured hepatocytes and cytotoxic activity on human cancer cells in vitro. The unusual amino butenolides were isolated from the Liliaceae family for the first time.

Abstract
Although verticinone, a major alkaloid isolated from the bulbus of Fritillaria ussuriensis, has been shown to induce differentiation in human leukemia cells, the exact mechanism of this action is not completely understood in cancer cells. Verticinone was used to conduct growth and apoptosis-related experiments for two stages of oral cancer on immortalized human oral keratinocytes (IHOKs) and primary oral cancer cells (HN4). The procedures included MTT assay, three-dimensional (3-D) raft cultures, Western blotting, cell cycle analysis, nuclear staining and cytochrome c expression related to the apoptosis signaling pathway. Verticinone inhibited the proliferation of immortalized and malignant oral keratinocytes in a dose- and time-dependent manner. In 3-D organotypic culture, verticinone-treated cells were less mature than the control cells, displaying low surface keratinization and decreased epithelial thickness. The major mechanism by which verticinone inhibits growth appears to be induced apoptosis and G(0)G(1) cell cycle arrest. This finding is supported by the results of the cell cycle analysis, FITC-Annexin V staining, DNA fragmentation assay and Hoechst 33258 staining. Furthermore, the cytosolic level of cytochrome c was increased, while the expression of Bcl-2 protein was gradually down-regulated and Bax was up-regulated, accompanied by caspase-3 activation. The data suggests that verticinone may induce apoptosis through a caspase pathway mediated by mitochondrial damage in immortalized keratinocytes and oral cancer cells.

Abstract
Plants belonging to the Liliaceae family have been the topic of research in many phytochemical and pharmacological laboratories because they contain structurally complex and biologically fascinating steroidal alkaloids. This review, citing 153 references, summarises the chemistry, bioactivity and geographical diversity of steroidal alkaloids isolated from Veratrum and Fritillaria species, so as to illustrate the chemo-diversity and biological significance of these alkaloids, along with their geographical distribution where this is discernible.

Abstract
Bulbus Fritillariae derived from plants of various Fritillaria species is the most commonly used antitussive traditional Chinese medicinal herb and is called Beimu. Herbs derived from similar and/or different species of Fritillaria are also used in Japan and Turkey as traditional or folk medicines. Isosteroidal alkaloids are the main bioactive ingredients in Fritillaria species. As the contents and structure types of these bioactive alkaloids vary in different Fritillaria species, quality control of these active principles in herbal Beimu is very important to ensure its safe and effective clinical use. This review describes the development of chromatographic analyses for the simultaneous qualitative and quantitative determination of the main bioactive Fritillaria isosteroidal alkaloids in herbal and biological samples. The recently developed direct HPLC-evaporative light scattering detection method is the most simple, selective and sensitive assay, and is readily used as a suitable quality control method for the analysis of the active principles of herbal Beimu.
