Pharmacognostic Evaluation and Assessment of Anticancer Potential Using Plant Acetone Extract Plant Mediated Silver Nanoparticles and Isolated Compounds of Cymbopogan Citratus Dc Stapf Leaves

Abstract

Cancer is a dreadful disease characterized by irregular proliferation of cells. Breast newlinecancer in India is the second most common cancer in women after the cancer of uterine newlinecervix. Medicinal plants are candidates for chemoprevention of cancer, because they may newlinepossess chemopreventive agents with inhibitory effects on the initiation, promotion, and newlineprogression of carcinogenesis. A grass obtained from plant Cymbopogan citratus belong to newlinethe family Poaceae, and commonly used as lemon grass. Initially the plant was authenticated and Plant characterization like macroscopic, microscopic and fluorescence analysis was carried out.
