The devastating effect of cancer is a worldwide concern. Unfortunately current chemotherapeutic and radio therapeutic modalities have been found to possess side effects coupled with the emergence of drug resistance. This has necessitated the search for novel therapeutic products with better efficacy, safety and affordability through identification of anti-tumor agents from natural products.
