Abstract

Cancer is an abnormal and uncontrolled growth of cells that spreads through cell division. There are different types of medicines available to treat cancers, but no drug is found to be fully effective and safe for humans. The major problem involved in the cancer treatments is the toxicity of the established drug and their side effects. Medicinal plants are used as folk medicines in Asian and African populations for thousands of years. 60% of the drugs for treating cancer are derived from plants. More than 3000 plants have anticancer activity. The present review aims at the study of a broad spectrum survey of plants having anticancer components for different type of cancers. This article consists of 364 medicinal plants and their different parts as potential Source of Anticancer Agents.

作为抗癌剂潜在来源的药用植物的广谱调查

癌症是一种不正常的、不受控制的细胞生长，通过细胞分裂进行扩散。有不同类型的药物可用于治疗癌症，但没有一种药物被发现对人类完全有效和安全。癌症治疗的主要问题是现有药物的毒性及其副作用。药用植物被用作亚洲和非洲人民的民间药物已有数千年的历史。治疗癌症的药物中有60%是从植物中提取的。3000多种植物具有抗癌活性。本文综述了具有抗癌成分的植物对不同类型癌症的广谱研究。本文介绍了364种作为抗癌药物潜在来源的药用植物及其不同部位。
