Is it right to look for anti-cancer drugs amongst compounds having antioxidant effect?
Journal Title: DARU Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences - Year 2012, Vol 20, Issue 0
Abstract
In the recent years, there has been a mounting interest on the use of natural products with antioxidant effect in the management of cancer. If one evaluates search engines will find a burden of papers that have tried to test natural products having anti free radical effects in the management of cancer. But the sense does not seem rational because in cancer we need a compound to kill cancer cells.
