Methods such as surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy have been preferred for a long time (Ha­meed et al., 2019, Shi et al., 2022). These treatment methods can be applied as single treatment or in combination. In most cases, metastasis of cancer cells to adjacent and distant tissues and organs limits the effectiveness of surgery, and it is not possible to surgically remove all of the cancerous tissues and organs, especially in advanced stages (Ashrafizadeh et al., 2021). However, current therapeutic ap­proaches, including chemotherapy and radiotherapy, have high systemic toxicity, limiting their tolerability and clinical application, and are not effective in preventing advanced cancer cells (Ashrafizadeh et al., 2021; Kashyap et al., 2021). This treatment technique is related with severe side effects such as nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, anemia, loss of hair, soreness and exhaustion, which have an impact on people and their psychology. In addition, dose-dependent toxicity in healthy cells is one of the biggest obstacles in cancer treatment (Miao et al., 2017). In order to eliminate these obstacles, new generation treatment methods such as immunotherapy, hormone therapy and targeted therapy are also applied (Figure 1) (Hameed et al., 2019). Hence, it has become very important to find more effective and more selective treatment methods for the treatment of different human cancers. For this purpose, in studies conducted to discover new methods, it has been shown that structurally diverse compounds derived from various natural products can have chemopreventive effects against cancer as well as chemotherapeutic activities (Cragg & Pezzuto, 2016; Kashyap et al., 2021).
