Cancer is a disease of cells where uncontrolled proliferation occurs leading to death of the incumbent. There is no effective vaccine for prevention and prophylaxis of cancer. Currently available anticancer allopathic drugs have a lot of disadvantages including frequent recurrence of the disease. In this perspective, nature could be a good alternative source of anticancer herbs and phytoconstituents that may prevent the proliferation of cells and even cure the cancer. This review summaries such herbs and phytoconstituents that could give good preventive and prophylactic effect as anticancer...

Common kinds of chemotherapy may cause harm to normal cells and tissues. Localised chemotherapy, unlike systemic chemotherapy, can lessen side effects by providing a consistent supply of chemotherapeutic chemicals directly to the tumour location. This emphasises the importance of controlled-release biodegradable hydrogels as chemotherapeutic drug delivery systems. This study looks at employing hydrogels as drug delivery methods for HCC, including thermosensitive, pH-sensitive, photosensitive, dual-sensitive, and glutathione-responsive hydrogels. Hydrogel-based drug delivery systems outperform traditional systemic chemotherapy in cancer treatment. Cancer immunotherapy has emerged as the new paradigm for cancer treatment. The development and discovery of new therapeutic molecules has increased the use of immunotherapy in clinical studies. This article discusses the current state of functional hydrogels for effective cancer immunotherapy. First, we will discuss the fundamental principles of cancer immunotherapy and the benefits of employing hydrogels to implement these mechanisms. Finally, we briefly explore the existing issues and potential applications of hydrogels for effective cancer...

Method: The economically significant Prosopis tree component is its wood, which is used to make charcoal, firewood, and fuel. It is becoming evident that biological effects are related to the Prosopis plants’ phytochemical makeup, particularly the presence of C-glycosyl flavones in these species (such as isoschaftoside, vicenin II, and isovitexin) Prosopis plants are consequently advantageous for human diet and overall health, claims study. In such a way, this current study offers a thorough summary of the research on the chemical make-up, pharmacology, and food uses of Prosopis plants, ranging from pre-clinical information to upcoming clinical investigations. Conclusion: Medical...

Since ancient times, Baccaurea species have held economic value for the indigenous peoples of the Old-World Tropics, used for both their edible fruits and medicinal properties. Among these, Baccaurea motleyana, commonly known as Rambai, is notable for its diverse uses and is widely cultivated across Southeast Asia. This study explores the botanical characteristics, traditional applications, and pharmacological potential of B. motleyana. Rambai thrives in tropical rainforests and diverse soil types, growing up to 25 meters tall. The fruit is consumed fresh, while various plant parts are used medicinally to treat ailments such as constipation, eye swelling, arthritis, and abdominal pain. Notably, the bark is used to prevent postpartum hemorrhage, and the leaves treat menstrual disorders. Nutritionally, Rambai fruits are rich in vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C and potassium, and exhibit antioxidant and antimicrobial properties due to their high phenolic content. Phytochemical screening reveals the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, triterpenoids, and tannins, contributing to its medicinal properties. Pharmacological studies highlight its antioxidant, antimicrobial, antidiabetic, and anticancer activities. For...

Despite significant progress in the field of targeted medicine, no treatment is totally successful in promoting liver function, aiding in the regeneration of hepatic cells, or providing protection for the organ without having a toxic effect. Recognizing low toxic therapeutic alternatives is crucial for the management of liver illnesses as a result. Phytochemicals, which are found in plants and fruits, have been shown to have beneficial effects on liver protection, according to numerous scientific research. This has led to the usage of some natural remedies. For their anticipated safety, potential nutritional and medicinal advantages, nutraceuticals have attracted a lot of attention. These were employed as an alternative to modern medications that improve health, boost diet nutrient content, and lengthen life expectancy. Herbs, diverse nutrients, and dietary supplements are important components of nutraceuticals since they help prevent certain diseases and lessen their pathophysiology. Along with other health-promoting actions, it also has immune-stimulating, natural antioxidant, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, cardioprotective, and organo protective properties. In the end, they guarantee a higher quality...
