Key Points

  • This research investigates how traditional medicinal plants can influence the apoptotic pathway for cancer treatment.
  • Reviewed literature on traditional medicinal plants used in cancer treatment.
  • Analyzed molecular mechanisms of these plants to understand their effects on apoptosis.
  • Explored pathways that may lead to the development of new cancer therapies.
  • Identified multiple plants with prospective anticancer activities through apoptotic modulation.
  • Highlighted the gap in clinical application due to limited understanding of their molecular actions.
  • Suggested that deeper knowledge could facilitate the transition of these plants into clinical use.

Abstract

A wide range of traditional plants have been utilized for the treatment of different diseases, including cancer. Despite the presence of various anticancer medicinal plants, only a few have advanced beyond the laboratory and are used clinically. This is primarily due to the lack of knowledge regarding their mode of action at the molecular level. By understanding the molecular mechanisms, these traditionally used medicines can be translated into drugs and used to manage diseases such as cancer.
