In-Vitro Anticancer Activity of Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Leaves and Tabernaemontana Divaricata (Pinwheel Flower)

Abstract

Cancer is a major disease in humans and animals. It can be treated by several ways in modern technology. Some medicinal plants and herbal extracts mainly act on anticancer activity Camellia sinensis (tea leaves) and Tabernaemontana divaricata (pinwheel flower) both the plants mainly act on anticancer activity with proven cytotoxic properties. Tea leaves contain mainly polyphenols, such as catechins, while pinwheel flower contains mainly alkaloids. Both of the plant’s extracts collected and performed with preliminary phytochemical screening and it will be analysis by qualitative and quantitative methods with some instrumentation like ultra-visible spectrometer, Fourier transform infrared spectrometer, high performance liquid chromatography, gas chromatography mass-spectrometry. This extraction widely contain antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anticancer activity. These extracts are currently used in pharmaceutical research and development. This study may help to identify phytochemical and evaluation of in-vitro cytotoxicity and drug discovery in future herbal anticancer formulations. This combination mainly increases the anticancer activity and very safe, cost effective, less toxicity for anticancer activity.
