Abstract :
Herbal extracts play a vital role in both traditional and modern therapeutic applications due to their rich composition of bioactive compounds. Arachis hypogaea, commonly known as peanut or groundnut is an annual herbaceous legume which belongs to the family Fabaceae. Cancer is the uncontrolled growth of cells which may disrupt the normal tissue function and cause potential harm to the body. Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide, and the number of new cases is increasing. The review focused on the significant therapeutic potential of Arachis hypogaea in cancer. The exploration of bioactive compounds found in the plant reveals its possibility to contribute to anticancer activity. The therapeutic application of Arachis hypogaea especially in cancer can be more effectively explored by proper research studies and can be utilized for the development of novel plant based treatments.
KEYWORDS: Arachis hypogaea, Apoptosis, Cancer, Metastasis, Phytochemicals.
