Abstract

Cancer accounts for major deaths in the world. In 2016, 8.9 million people have died from various forms of cancer. Due to lack of full response in specific tissue that maintains cellular differentiation, proliferation, survival & death cancer causes local damage & inflammation of cells, hence it is a biological complex disease. In Ayurvedic classics it can be co-related with Granthi or Arbuda. Studies have suggested that bioactive photochemical present in Ayurvedic plants inhibits inflammatory pathways. This review will focuses on chemical compounds derived from plants which in recent years shows promise as anticancer agents and will outline their potential mechanism of action.
