Herbal Extract on Cancer Cell Line: Herbal Extract an Alternate Source for Cancer Therapeutics Tejal N. Gheewala

There has been a long standing interest in the identification of medicinal plants and derived natural products for developing cancer therapeutics. The impact of medicinal plants and their isolated pure compounds is in variety of therapeutic areas but the major contribution is in the field of anticancer drug discovery. Our study focuses upon cancer, due to its high mortality rate, that is attributed in part to the lack of an effective chemotherapeutic agent. Reports on the use of medicinal plant extracts either alone or alongside conventional anticancer agents in the treatment of this cancer have shown promising results. This work aims to investigate the therapeutic properties of a library of medicinal plants.
