ABSTRACT:
Cancer is the most prevalent life-threatening disease predominantly due to the sedentary life style and urbanization of modern era and is the second leading cause of death. Nearly 70 different plant species make up the Sansevieria genus, which is predominantly used for aesthetic and folkloric purposes. Recent studies found that these are the rich reservoir of antitumor entities. Objective: This review is particularly emphasized on outlining the anticancer capabilities and other folkloric uses of few species of Sansevieria. Method: Several scientific online databases were queried for data collection using keywords related to the subject, including NCBI, PubMed, Google Scholar and Scopus. Sansevieria suffruticosa N.E.Br has an extensive inventory of both identified and unidentified antitumour moieties and its underlying molecular pathways need be determined by in vitro, in vivo, and cellular level. In the near future, the isolation and characterisation of such molecules may yield a dependable, efficient, and cost-effective antineoplastic medication capable of surpassing the major limitations of existing treatment techniques.
