Abstract
The medicinal herb Rauwolfia tetraphylla is utilized by South Indian tribes to treat various medical ailments, although its cytotoxicity action has not been studied. As a result, the emphasis of the current investigation is on the anticancer activity of Rauvolfia tetraphylla extracts on MCF-7 breast cancer cell lines, as well as their effects on the levels of gene expression for BCl2 and TGF. The study found that the anticancer activity of R. tetraphylla extract demonstrated significant cytotoxic activity against MCF-7 breast cancer cell lines. Because of this, its anticancer effect may be caused by apoptosis, which is caused by DNA breaking and is helped by active phytochemicals like alkaloids, phenols, and flavonoids in the extracts. It also promotes apoptosis by altering Bcl-2 and TGF expression levels. The present study suggests using R. tetraphylla extract as an anticancer agent in traditional medicine.
