Cancer is the second leading cause of global death. Rapid progress in the phytochemical study of plants reveals their anticancer effects as a result plants are becoming an alternative to the current processes used. Common treatments such as radiotherapy and chemotherapy can cause various side effects including several adverse effects on healthy cells. Therefore, alternative and effective medications are required to combat this effect. Using plant-derived products over synthetic medicines has increased the importance of medicinal plants in the field of healthcare. Many plant-derived products can potentially treat cancer by inhibiting cancer activating enzymes, stimulating DNA repair mechanisms, inducing antioxidant action, and promoting protective enzyme production. In the present review, an effort has been made to provide concise information about the medicinal plants and phytoconstituents that have shown potent activity against various forms of...

Many medicinal plants have been said to be protective against insect damage without any scientific proof that they posses’ insecticidal activity. This study was aimed to establish the pharmacognostic profile and insecticidal activity of leaves of Tecoma stans juss (Bignoniaceae) to confirm its traditional application and justify continuous usage. Tecoma stans is a popular ornamental plant mostly found in tropical regions. The presence of flavonoids, alkaloids, phenolic content, indoles (tryptophan, tryptamine), terpenoid, in raw leaf of the plant was observed. We underscore the therapeutic promise of the plant and suggest future research paths, such as conducting clinical trials and exploring pharmacokinetics. Through a comprehensive analysis of Tecoma stans properties and applications, this review aims to aid in the development of innovative plant-derived therapeutics. The crude extract and fractions produced anthelmenthic, anti oxidant, anti – inflammatory, anti-diabetic, wound healing property, anti-microbial, anti-fungal, hepatoprotective, anti-urolithic, anti-cancer activities. This review represents a scientific understanding of clinical correlations and application of phyto-compounds from T. stans in combating and alleviating various health complaints and...
