The lung is a vital organ of the human being, located near the backbone on either side of the heart with functions of inhaling oxygen from the air then transporting them to the bloodstream to nourish the body cells' need and exhaling carbon dioxide from the bloodstream.
Lung cancer is defined as a condition of the abnormal growth of the cells in the lung's tissue. The most common forms of primary lung cancers are derived from epithelial cells.
The most common form of primary lung cancers is derived from epithelial cells.
The exact cause of lung cancer is not identified. However, epidemiologically, smoking, second smoke, exposure to certain chemicals, family history, people who have lung disease and excessive drinking are some prevalent factors associated with lung cancer developing.
According to the statistics provided by the American cancer society, Lung cancer accounts for 14% of all new cancers diagnosed in the US. In 2018, there were about 234,030 new cases of lung cancer (121,680 in men and 112,350 in women). Lung cancer also causes the death of 83,550 in men and 70,500 in women in the same year.

* Non-small cell lung cancer is the most common type of lung cancer that usually grows and spreads methodically and predictably.
* Small cell lung cancer is a fast-growing type of lung cancer, that can spread to distant parts of the body in a relatively early stage.
* ALT inhibited cell growth and induced S‑phase arrest and cell apoptosis in A549 and NCI‑H520 cells.
* ALT increased the level of ROS, inhibited the Akt/glycogen synthase kinase (GSK)3β pathway and induced endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress to prevent proliferation and cause apoptosis of A549 and NCI‑H520 cells.
On finding a natural ingredient for the prevention and treatment of lung diseases, scientists examined the anti-lung cancer effects of Alantolactone (ALT), a sesquiterpene lactone compound isolated from Inula helenium.
Elecampane, also known as Horse-heal (Inula helenium) is a perennial composite plant, genus nulla, belonging to Asteraceae, native to Southern Europe, and Asia.

The plant has been used in traditional and herbal medicine in treating bronchitis or emphysema, night sweats, pulmonary tuberculosis, irritating cough, catarrhal discharges, etc.
According to tested analysis,* ALT inhibited cell growth and induced S‑phase arrest and cell apoptosis in A549 and NCI‑H520 cells.
* ALT increased the level of ROS, inhibited the Akt/glycogen synthase kinase (GSK)3β pathway and induced endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress to prevent proliferation and cause apoptosis of A549 and NCI‑H520 cells.
* Most importantly, ALT treatment sensitized lung cancer cells to Gemcitabine (GEM) by enhancing the chemo drug efficacy.
Based on the results, researchers suggest, "combined treatment with ALT and GEM may have potential as a clinical strategy for lung cancer treatment".
