Abstract
|
Natural goods have been utilized to treat a variety of chronic illnesses, including cancer. One such product is plant-based secondary metabolites. Herbal medicines have demonstrated a significant impact on cancer prevention and treatment through a variety of therapeutic mechanisms, including the inhibition of cancer-activating enzymes and hormones, stimulation of DNA repair mechanisms, enhancement of immunity, production of protective enzymes, induction of antioxidant action, and stimulation of DNA repair mechanisms. Therefore, it is possible to use plant formulations or herbal extracts to a certain extent in anticancer therapy. This research will concentrate on the use of medicinal plants and their phytochemicals as naturally occurring anticancer agents and will offer details on how to incorporate them into anticancer treatment. In order to visualize their impact on the metabolism of cancer cells, a brief explanation of the anticancer mechanism of action of certain medicinal plants and their well-known biologically active phytoconstituents has also been provided. Lastly, the relevance and usefulness of utilizing medicinal plants in anticancer therapy will be outlined, along with the bioactive components of those plants and the most recent data on their clinical efficacy and ideal dosages for cancer prevention.
