THE AIM OF THIS REVIEW is to provide an updated overview of experimental in vitro and in vivo investigations focusing on the anticancer activity of few herbs specially phytochemicals from daily kitchen ingredients. Potential use of these natural agents in cancer therapy and chemoprevention is also discussed. Studies using animal models and cultured human malignant cell lines have demonstrated a...

We have performed this study to investigate the modulatory effect of thymoquinone (TQ), the Nigella sativa active compound, on erythrocyte lipid peroxidation and antioxidant status during 1,2-dimethylhydrazine- (DMH-) induced colon carcinogenesis after initiation in male Wistar rats. Rats exposed to DMH showed an increase of malondialdehyde and conjugated diene levels, and an augmentation of en...

In this review, we summarized published reports that investigated the role of Nigella sativa (NS) and its active constituent, thymoquinone (TQ) in oral health and disease management.
