Perspectives and Recent Advances in Taxol Producing Endophytic Fungal Research
Abstract: Taxol being the most successful anti cancer drug was discovered from the bark of the Taxus brevifolia. Its chemistry, structure and mechanistic action were long back established. There was a Shift of the taxol production from the yew the deforestation of the yew tree was more, and the yield was less. The discovery of the endophytic fungi which produces Taxol, lead the way for the taxol production in the larger …

Nutraceuticals as Adjunctive Treatment in Cancer Exploring Efficacy and Mechanism of Action
Abstract: Dietary habits are a critical factor in cancer prevention, with plant-based diets rich in vegetables and fruits associated with reduced cancer risk. Nutraceuticals—bioactive compounds derived from food and supplements—have gained attention for their potential in cancer prevention and therapy. Phytochemicals such as flavonoids, polyphenols, and alkaloids exhibit anti-cancer properties through mechanisms including antioxidant activity, anti-inflammatory effects, inhibition of tumor growth, and induction of apoptosis. Key nutraceuticals include alkaloids (e.g., caffeine, …

Enhancement of Some Pharmaceutically Important Secondary Metabolites By in vitro Techniques
Abstract: AbstractSecondary metabolites are economically important as drugs, dyes and pigments, pesticides, and food additives. The evolving commercial importance of secondary metabolites has in recent years resulted in a great interest in mechanism of secondary metabolism, especially in the production of bioactive plant metabolites by means of tissue culture technology. Plant cell and tissue culture technologies can be established for both multiplication and extraction of secondary metabolites. Strain improvement, methods for …
