The above Drugs have certain toxicities such as Nephrotoxicity, Hepatotoxicity, Anemia, Thrombocytopenia, Leucopenia, Degeneration of hair follicle etc, Because of the low therapeutic index, the drugs degenerate normal cells with cancerous cells, Thus it is necessary to develop the medication and therapy to reduce this cytotoxic effects, This can be achieve by using natural and safe agents for the treatment of cancer.

Azadirachta indica is evergreen, tropical, having angled molded green leaves and trunk of timber with bug repellent properties. Generally, Azadirachta indica demonstrated an anticancer movement by advancing the cell reinforcement chemical, and adjusting the intracellular segments fundamental for tumor development and advancement, for example, Cyclin D, Cyclin B, Cyclin B1, Cyclin1, Cyclin E, P53, PCNA, P21,GST-P.
