Abstract

One of the most important health issues facing humanity, cancer is a scary disease that demands a proactive approach to treatment. Plants, a source of novel chemical entities and a promising topic for cancer research. Despite its success, chemotherapy has so far had some unfavourable side effects. However, the use of plants and products generated from them is revolutionising the field as a simple, secure, cost-effective, time-saving, environmentally friendly, and less hazardous alternative to traditional treatment procedures. Phytochemicals have selective activities that are targeted towards tumour cells. The complex process known as carcinogenesis involves a number of signalling cascades. Phytochemicals are thought to be attractive prospects for the development of new therapeutics because of their pleiotropic effects on the target event in a number of ways."Researchers are looking at which of these phytochemicals might be possibilities for inhibiting or reducing the growth of cancer cells without causing any unfavourable side effects. There are a lot of phytochemicals and the analogues they were made from that have been identified as potential anticancer therapeutic possibilities. An effort has been made to highlight the most recent developments and noteworthy accomplishments in phytomolecule-based cancer therapies that target nuclear and cellular components through this succinct overview.
