Plants as radioprotector/radiosensitizer in HCC |
Amaranthus paniculatus Linn. | Decreases the depleted level of endogenic antioxidant enzymes during radiotherapy of mice liver. |
Coronopus didymus (L.) | Enhance the level of antioxidant enzymes in the liver of mice. |
Grewia asiatica L. | Augmented the SOD, CAT, and GSH levels in the liver of irradiated mice. |
Glycyrrhiza glabra L. | It protected plasmid DNA and reduced the liver microsomal LPO level in rat from irradiation. |
Hypericum perforatum L. | In vitro and in vivo studies show the increased level of SOD, CAT, GSH-Px, and GSH during radiation therapy |
Pilea microphylla (L.) Liebm. | Increased level of endogenous antioxidant enzyme levels in the liver of mice. |
Rosmarinus officinalis L. | Augmented the SOD, CAT, and GSH levels in blood and liver of mice during the radiation therapy. |
Xylopia aethiopica (Dunal) A.Rich. | Protect the liver of rat from γ-radiation |
Bioactive phytomolecules as adjunct with chemotherapy |
Curcumin | Used as an adjuvant with vinorelbine chemotherapy and enhances the antiproliferative effect of drugs. |
Quercetin | Used as an adjunct in doxorubicin, busulfan, and cisplatin chemotherapy. It also increased cytotoxic effects of these drugs and protect from drug-induced nephrotoxicity. |
Ginsenosides | Used as an adjunct with cisplatin and 5-FU chemotherapy and enhanced antiproliferative effect. |
