Abstract
The medicinal plants are considered more effective as they have only few side effects as compared to synthetic drugs. The bioactive chemicals used to treat cancer were obtained from plants. In past many plants were used to treat many problems associated with pain and inflammations, respiratory problems, chronic, acute arthritis and joint pain. Tanacetum parthenium also called feverfew belong to Composite family (Asteraceae) and many chemical compounds were found in the feverfew. Tanacetum parthenium shows many types of activities like anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer and anti-oxidant. Tanacetum parthenium was used to treat different diseases in Europe including mental disorders, stomach ulcer and inflammatory problems and its methanolic extract was used to against breast cancer. The different extracts of Tanacetum parthenium was used as anticancer agent. The methanol extract of plant partitioned with ethyl acetate solvent has strong cytotoxic effect. The methanol extract of Tanacetum parthenium showed strong effective control as antioxidant. The consequences of the present study showed that phenolic mixes are great foragers of free radicals as exhibited by a decent connection of DPPH rummaging action with TPC, while concentrating on the concentrates of Tanacetum parthenium. Thus, distinctive distributed techniques have been utilized to quantify absolute cancer prevention agent movement by reducing free radicals. The aqueous and methanolic extracts were compared and different methods confirmed the strong free radical scavenging activity.
