The increased mortality rate due to severe toxicity is another concern. The role of phytochemicals from different class viz-dietary polyphenols and saponins in chemoprevention along with different mechanistic pathways has created remarkable progress as the toxicity issues are of lesser concern. Phytochemicals can prevent the carcinogenesis process via antioxidant or anti-inflammatory action by modulating the proteins involved in different pathways like NF-kB, Nrf-2, AP-1, MAPK, and COX-2. In this review, we have focused on the potential molecular targets and signalling pathways that provoke the tumorigenesis process and the various phytochemicals that are targeted towards these signalling pathways by chemoprevention.","PeriodicalId":13889,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Pharmaceutical Chemistry and Analysis","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76006985","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study aims to assess the most outstanding plants that are used to treat menstrual disorders, their uterine contractility properties, and adverse effects. The study will therefore acknowledge the importance of medicinal plants in the study of new drugs for regulating uterine contractility and propose suggestions for improving experiments involving medicinal plants on uterine contractility for drug development.
