BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY SOURCES FROM TRADITIONALLY USEDTRIBE AND HERBAL PLANTS MATERIAL
Abstract
In the modern era, the consciousness about the cancer disease got enhanced and the research in the treatment of this major disease reached a
milestone by spreading its influence into the terrain of the natural herbal plant kingdom to serve the humanity at a great level as 80% of the present
population depends principally on tribe and herbal medicine. In chosen 9 plants of anticancer and biochemical activity such as vinblastine, vincristine,
and forskoline, the artemisia connection with this, many modern drugs derive from a natural plant product which acts as chemical stimulators.
Minerals and biochemical contents are determined in various traditional plants. Among those traditional plants, we have, Centella asiatica, Euclea,
Euphorbia, Foeniculum vulgare, Tulbaghia violacea, from 7 different plant families in our study.
Keywords: Anticancer, Antibacterial, Traditional plants, Antitoxicity, Plant extract.
