n recent years alkaloids from the genus Hippeastrum have been shown to exhibit a broad spectrum of biological activities, including antiparasitic, antiproliferative, apoptosis-induced, psychopharmacological, acetylcholinesterase-inhibitory, among others. This work presents a brief chemical and biological review of the alkaloids found in the genus Hippeastrum.
