Therapeutic Potential of Herbal Molecules against Breast Cancer
Background: Since last decades, breast cancer has emerged as one of the most aggressive form of cancer causing highest mortality rates. The synthetic drugs available for the treatment of breast cancer either have high toxicity or becoming resistant. In view of this, researchers are constantly in search of natural drugs that can control aggressive breast cancer and same time possess less toxicity. Aim: The aim of the manuscript was to summarize potential herbal molecules having significant activity against breast cancer. Methods: Extensive literature survey was carried out to compile data obtained from primary and secondary information sources. Google scholar, science direct, bentham science, springer, pubmed. etc were used as source of data. Result and discussion: In the present review, an attempt has been made to summarize herbal molecules which have shown promising results against breast cancer either in preliminary studies or in clinical studies. Herbal molecules gain good attention among scientific community for their therapeutic properties against breast cancer. Conclusion: After literature survey it was also concluded that herbal molecules have significant potential to control growth of breast cancer.
