A REVIEW ON PLANT ORIGIN ANTICANCER DRUGS

Journal Title: World Journal of Pharmaceutical and life sciences - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 4

Abstract

Globally cancer is a disease which severely effects the human population. There is a constant demand for new therapies to treat and prevent this life-threatening disease. Scientific and research interest is drawing its attention towards naturally-derived compounds as they are considered to have less toxic side effects compared to current treatments such as chemotherapy. The Plant Kingdom produces naturally occurring secondary metabolites which are being investigated for their anticancer activities leading to the development of new clinical drugs. In the present review, an attempt has been made to study the plants that have been used in the treatment of cancer.
