POSITIVE IMPACTS OF PHYTOCHEMICALS AND THEIR BIOACTIVE COMPONENTS FROM PLANTS AGAINST HEPATOCELLULAR CARCINOMA - REVIEW

The terrible nature of the condition and the lack of an effective, long-lasting treatment, anticancer therapy has become one of the biggest issues in the medical field. In light of this, it is believed that discovering an effective drug is a popular research issue in the field of medical science. There is a long history of using plant-derived extracts, mixtures, fractions, and phyto-chemicals to treat liver issues. The goal of this study is to assess the scientific research on the efficacy of various bioactive compounds that have been isolated from plant extracts over the past 20 years against the fatal disease, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The knowledge at hand includes a number of research and tests employing plant parts such as stems, leaves, roots, flowers, fruits, bark etc. And we could deduce from the literature that the researchers conducted in-vitro, in-vivo, ex-vivo, and other types of experiment using these extracts to obtain the best outcomes. This study aims to assess the level of progress made in the quest for a suitable, long-lasting natural treatment for HCC and makes an effort to compile a list of plants that have been shown to have hepato-protective properties. Finding new anticancer drugs derived from natural resources will receive more focus.
