Abstract
The subfamily Amaryllidoideae, Amaryllidaceae, presents an exclusive group of structures known as Amaryllidaceae alkaloids, which have a broad spectrum of biological activities. These plants are classified into 59 genera, including Hippeastrum Herb., which comprises approximately 60 species distributed mainly in South America, being widely used as ornamental plants due to the beauty of its flowers. This review presents an update about the alkaloid profiling of Hippeastrum extracts published between 2012 and 2021, as well as an approach to the biological potential of these compounds. Supplementary information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s43450-021-00211-z. Keywords: Alzheimer's disease; Anti-inflammatory; Antiparasitic; Antitumoral; Cytotoxic; Isoquinoline alkaloids.
