Abstract:

Cancer continues to be a significant global health challenge, driving researchers to explore diverse avenues for novel therapeutic interventions. Ethnopharmacology, the study of traditional medicinal practices of different cultures, has gained attention for its potential in identifying new sources of anti-cancer agents. This research paper delves into the ethnopharmacological significance towards cancer-fighting, discussing the utilization of plant-based remedies, indigenous knowledge, and traditional practices as sources of inspiration for developing effective anti-cancer therapies. Through a comprehensive review of relevant literature, this paper examines the mechanisms of action, compounds, and pathways involved in ethnopharmacologically derived cancer-fighting agents. The potential integration of traditional knowledge with modern biomedical research offers a promising approach to address the complex challenges posed by cancer.
