Abstract Cancer remains a significant global public health concern, with increasing incidence and mortality rates worldwide. Oxidative stress, characterized by the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) within cells, plays critical role in development cancer affecting genomic stability signaling pathways cellular microenvironment. Elevated levels ROS disrupt homeostasis contribute to loss normal functions, which are associated initiation progression various types cancer. In this review, we have focused on elucidating downstream that influenced oxidative stress carcinogenesis. These include p53, Keap1-NRF2, RB1, p21, APC, tumor suppressor genes, cell type transitions. Dysregulation these can lead uncontrolled growth, impaired DNA repair mechanisms, evasion death, all hallmark features development. Therapeutic strategies aimed at targeting emerged as area investigation for molecular biologists. The objective is limit response time cancer, including liver, breast, prostate, ovarian, lung cancers. By modulating redox balance restoring homeostasis, it may be possible mitigate damaging effects enhance efficacy treatments. targeted therapies interventions specifically address impact holds great promise improving patient outcomes. approaches antioxidant-based treatments, redox-modulating agents, restore function affected stress. summary, understanding carcinogenesis process through therapeutic utmost importance combating Further research needed unravel complex mechanisms underlying stress-related develop effective translated into clinical applications management treatment

Cancer is still the leading cause of death worldwide, burdening global medical system. Rosmarinic acid (RA) among first secondary metabolites discovered and it a bioactive compound identified in plants such as Boraginaceae Nepetoideae subfamilies Lamiaceae family, including Thymus masticmasti chinaythia koreana, Ocimum sanctum, Hyptis pectinate. This updated review to highlight chemopreventive chemotherapeutic effects RA its derivatives, thus providing valuable clues for potential development some complementary drugs treatment cancers. Relevant information about RA's derivatives were collected from electronic scientific databases, PubMed/Medline, Scopus, TRIP database, Web Science, Science Direct. The results studies showed numerous significant biological antiviral, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti-tumour, antioxidant antiangiogenic effects. Most on anticancer with corresponding mechanisms are experimental preclinical stage missing evidence clinical trials support research.

Abstract Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide and involves an oxidative stress mechanism. The transcription factor Nrf2 has crucial role in cytoprotective response against stress, including cancer growth progression therapy resistance. For this reason, inhibitors are new targets to be studied. Traditional plant-based remedies rich phytochemicals have been used human cancers phenolic compounds known for their chemopreventive properties. This comprehensive review offers updated the as anticancer agents due action on inhibition. In addition, naturally-occurring bioactive covered clinical applications polyphenols inhibitors.

Abstract Cancer is a disease that can cause abnormal cell growth and spread throughout the body. It among most significant causes of death worldwide, resulting in approx. 10 million deaths annually. Many synthetic anticancer drugs are available, but they often come with side effects interact negatively other medications. Additionally, many chemotherapy used for cancer treatment develop resistance harm normal cells, leading to dose-limiting effects. As result, finding effective treatments developing new remains challenge. However, plants potent source natural products potential treatment. These biologically active compounds may be basis enhanced or less toxic derivatives. Herbal medicines/phytomedicines, plant-based drugs, becoming more popular treating complicated diseases like due their effectiveness particularly attractive option affordability, availability, lack serious They have broad applicability therapeutic efficacy, which has spurred scientific research into as agents. This review focuses on Paclitaxel (PTX), drug derived from Taxus sp., its ability treat specific tumors. PTX derivatives against various lines.

Abstract Cancer poses a significant global health challenge, with predictions of increasing prevalence in the coming years due to limited prevention, late diagnosis, and inadequate success current therapies. In addition, high cost new anti-cancer drugs creates barriers meeting medical needs cancer patients, especially developing countries. The lengthy costly process novel further hinders drug discovery clinical implementation. Therefore, there has been growing interest repurposing approved for other diseases address urgent need effective treatments. aim this comprehensive review is provide an overview potential non-oncology as therapeutic options treatment. These come from various chemotherapeutic classes, including antimalarials, antibiotics, antivirals, anti-inflammatory drugs, antifungals, have demonstrated antiproliferative, pro-apoptotic, immunomodulatory, antimetastatic properties. A systematic literature was conducted identify relevant studies on therapy. Various electronic databases, such PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar, were searched using appropriate keywords. Studies focusing potential, mechanisms action, efficacy, prospects repurposed treatment included analysis. highlights promising outcomes Drugs belonging different classes notable antitumor effects, inhibiting cell proliferation, promoting apoptosis, modulating immune response, suppressing metastasis. findings suggest these approaches Repurposing provides strategy addressing accessible diverse their properties, offer avenues Further research trials are warranted explore full optimize use treating types. can significantly expedite identifying treatments improve patient cost-effective manner.
