Herbal medications are being explored as treatments for ailments like cancer, and this study focuses on the anticancer potential of Prosopis juliflora's methanolic leaf extract specifically for prostate cancer.
The extract showed strong antioxidant properties and significantly reduced the viability of LNCaP prostate cancer cells in a dose-dependent manner, while not harming normal skin cells.
Key findings suggest that the extract activates apoptosis (programmed cell death) through caspase-3 activation and changes in apoptotic genes, highlighting the need for further research to confirm its therapeutic efficacy.
