Abstract

Cancer is one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide, and its treatment facesseveral challenges. Phytoconstituents derived from recently discovered medicinal plants through nanotechnology potentially targetcancer cells via PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathways and exert their effectsselectively through the generation of reactive oxygen species through β-catenin inhibition, DNA damage,and increasing caspase 3/9 and p53 expression. These nanocarriers act specifically against different cancer cell lines such as HT-29, MOLT-4 human leukemia cancer and MCF-7 cell linesSKOV-3, Caov-3, SW-626, HepG2, A-549, HeLa, and MCF-7. This review comprehensively elaborates on the cellular and molecular mechanisms, and therapeutic prospects of various plant-mediated nanoformulations to attain a revolutionary shift in cancer immunotherapy.
