Abstract

Moringa oleifera, a fast-growing deciduous perennial tree native to the Indian subcontinent and now widely distributed in tropical and subtropical regions, is renowned globally for its multiple uses in nutrition and traditional medicine,?and for its host of environmental and other applications. Well-known for its nourish green?leaves and medicinal properties, the plant has attracted considerable interest over the last years for its potential anticancer capacity. A variety of extracts obtained from different parts of the?moringa tree, especially leaves, were tested on a number of cancer cell lines — both in vitro and in vivo — and have shown potential for acting against a broad range of cancer cell types. These extracts show?a remarkable antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and cytotoxic activity and they can also modulate apoptotic pathways showing a multi-mechanism of action against cancer. This review compiles the latest studies on M. oleifera bioactive compounds and the anticancer action of M. oleifera against experimental models and also?covers some other medicinal properties.
