Cancer is a group of diseases that involves abnormal cell growth with the potential to invade other parts of the body. Patients suffering from cancer have a significantly lower intake of a healthy diet. According to recent studies, by increasing the immune system, it helps to improve or prevent cancer. Using synthetic fertilizers and pesticides contaminate our food and environment, but the green revolution made India independent. Being obese or overweight may increase cancer risk and growth, but a healthy diet and exercise are enough to cure obesity. Nature has been provided many essential sources that are being utilized in prevention as well as treatment of cancer. Alcohol activates the cellular changes that make tumor cells spread, also tobacco is the leading cause of cancer, but by Rehabs and medication, risk of cancer can be reduced. Cancer can be medicated by various herbal medicines like turmeric, green tea,...

Plants are a great source of medicines, which are useful in the treatment of various diseases. Today sophisticated modern research tools for evaluation of the plant drugs are available, but the microscopical evaluation method is one of the simplest and cheapest methods to start with for establishing the correct identity of the source materials. Ximenia americana of family Oleaceae have great medicinal value in Indian medicine. It is used in of medicine as febrifuge, diarrhea, jaundice, laxatives, mouthwashes and hepatoprotective. Ximenia americana Linn. leaves showed epidermis of the midrib is single layered and the epidermal cells are small, cubical, thick-walled, with the prominent cuticl presence of paracytic stomata, cyclocytic stomata Fig. 5 and absence of trichomes, under the polarized microscope, calcium oxalate appeared as druses and rosette type. In present study to evaluate microscopical characters of Ximenia americana leaf is carried out to lay down the standard which could be useful in future experimental...

Piplartine is an amide obtained from Piper tuberculatum, which is promising in antiparasitic tests. Therefore, it has been used as the basis for the synthesis of new molecules. This study was designed to analyze the immunomodulatory effect of piplartine (A) and its derivative (B), in-vitro, on macrophages infected with Leihmania amazonensis, as well as the production of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), nitric oxide (NO) and lipid bodies. Were evaluated by staining with giemsa and counting the cells under optical microscopy; labeling with tetramethyl benzidine and peroxidase type II; Greiss reagent and oil red, respectively, with amides A and B concentrations ranging from 0.0 to 64 μg/mL. Modulation of the immune system was observed. There was a decrease in the infection index at the highest concentration (64 μg/mL) for A and B in infected macrophages. Amide A (4 μg/mL) reduced the H2O2 production of infected macrophages by 99.3% compared to control. Cultures treated with A and B increases the NO production at 16 μg/mL and 0.25 μg/mL, respectively. The production of...

Ajuga chamaepitys (L.) Schreb, well-known as Camaepitiumor Ground Pine, is an annual herb typical of the Mediterranean area accounting several uses in the traditional medicine. In this study, the methanol extract of Ajuga chamaepitys (L.) Schreb was analyzed using Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS), while the mass spectra of the compounds found in the extract were matched with the National Institute of Standards and Technology Library. The study revealed the presence of fifteen phytocomponents. The most abundant compounds in the methanol extract were eucalyptol, thujone, endoborneol, davana ether, and octacosane. The results indicated that polarity of the solvents used in extraction influenced the relative abundance and type of compounds extracted. The various compounds identified are known to have varying bioactivities such as being hemorrhoids, stomachache, jaundice, and inflammatory diseases....

Cancer is the one of the leading cause of death worldwide. Even though many treatments exists in treating and controlling the progression of the deadly disease cancer, yet important inadequacy for development remain. Several undesired side effects occur when cancer is treated using chemotherapy. Therapies of Mother Earth, that utilizes bioactive products derived from a plant in treating cancer, may lessen the side effects. North-East India is recognized as a rich ethnomedicinal asset. It contributes to the abundant reservoir of plant diversity and is recognized as one of the ‘biodiversity hotspots’ of the world reinforcing around 50% of the country’s biodiversity. There has been an increasing frequency of occurrence of cancer in developing countries like India, Nepal, and Pakistan which has serious implications on the morbidity and mortality in millions of people. Most of the Himalayan plants that have been reported are biologically active against different cancer types. The present statistics of cancer chemotherapy is bleak which is why there is an urgent need to develop and discover potent...
