Anticancer Agents

Increased mammalian tumour recurrence and severe chemotherapeutic agent side effects limit the clinical efficacy of a wide range of anticancer drugs now in use. As a result, developing alternative or synergistic anticancer medications with low side effects is constantly a priority. Anticancer drugs obtained from natural sources are one major technique for developing effective anticancer medicines. Plant-based anticancer agents and their derivatives have been shown to be useful in the prevention and treatment of cancer. Most anticancer drugs have a limited therapeutic index and a strong dose response relationship. Small dose fluctuations can cause severe and life-threatening toxicity in some people and underdosing in others, thereby compromising cancer results. Particularly in those with potentially curable conditions like lymphoma or testicular cancer, and in the context of adjuvant treatment, proper dose selection is critical (e.g., breast and colon cancer). The fact that everyone's capacity to metabolise and remove medications varies greatly complicates finding the optimum dose.
