This article aims to review the potential of plant bioactive compounds that play a role in anticancer activity in lung cancer A549 cell line. In this journal review we used PubMed Centre database to identify articles published between 2014 and 2024. 10 studies were obtained from keywords concerning extracts bioactive compounds of plants used as lung anticancer against A549 cell line. From the results obtained, it was reported that plants containing active compounds such as polyphenols, terpenoids (oleanolic acid, ursolic acid, betulinate, ferruginol), flavonoids (tiliroside), and alkaloids can act as anticancer agents and are proven to inhibit the growth of lung cancer A549 cell line.]]>
