Medicinal Fritillaria herbs, known for their rich content of steroidal alkaloids, have emerged as promising candidates in the treatment of chronic diseases due to their diverse pharmacological properties. Leveraging advancements in network pharmacology and molecular docking, this study explores the multi-target mechanisms through which these alkaloids exert therapeutic effects. The integration of bioinformatics, systems biology, and pharmacology in drug discovery has provided insights into the molecular interactions and pathways influenced by Fritillaria steroidal alkaloids. This review synthesizes comprehensive literature from 1985 to 2024, revealing the potential of these compounds in addressing respiratory diseases, inflammation, and cancer. The integration of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) with modern pharmacological techniques underscores the relevance of these compounds in next-generation drug discovery. While initial findings are promising, further empirical validation is necessary to fully harness the therapeutic potential of Fritillaria steroidal alkaloids.
