The disease varies widely in its clinical aggressiveness.&lt;em&gt; Ballota nigra &lt;/em&gt;Linn (Black horehound) is a three-foot, perennial herb of the family Lamiaceae and it has been shown to have various pharmacological properties such as antioxidant, hypoglycemic, neuro-sedative, antibacterial, insecticidal and anticholinesterase activities. However, the elucidation of &lt;em&gt;B.nigra&lt;/em&gt; for its anticancer activity in prostate cancer has not been studied so far. &lt;strong&gt;Methodology: &lt;/strong&gt;Prostate cancer PC3 cells were treated with different concentrations of &lt;em&gt;B.nigra&lt;/em&gt; (50, 100, 200 &amp;amp; 400μg/ml) for the analysis of Bcl-2, Phosphorylation of Bcl2 (p-Bcl2) and tumor suppressor protein p53, Case pase-3 and caspase-9 in PC3 cells. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; The &lt;em&gt;B.nigra&lt;/em&gt; ethanolic leaf extract reduced the levels of anti apoptotic proteins (Bcl-2, p-Bcl2) and increased the level of tumor suppressor protein p53, caspase-3 and 9 significantly (p&amp;lt;0.05). &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; Results of the study show that &lt;em&gt;B.nigra&lt;/em&gt; has potential anticancer activity by modulating intrinsic activity of apoptotic signaling in PC-3 cells. Thus, &lt;em&gt;B.nigra &lt;/em&gt;may have a potential therapeutic option for the treatment of prostate cancer.&lt;/p&gt;

The objective of this study was to elucidate the action of &lt;em&gt;Garcinia Mangostana &lt;/em&gt;fruit extract (GME) on these overexpressed enzymes and apoptotic proteins in diethyl nitrosamine (DEN) induced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) rats. The cancer was induced using DEN to the experimental rats and treated with GME (400 mg/ kg) to find its anticancer property. The lysosomal enzymes such as alpha-L-fucosidase, beta- D-glucosidase, ornithine decarboxylase activity (ODC), apoptotic and antiapoptotic proteins such as Bcl-2, Bax and Bcl-xl and H&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt; thymidine incorporation assay were done to prove GME’s chemo preventive property. DEN induction caused significant increase in the activities of ornithine decarboxylase; lysosomal enzymes and increased cell proliferation with decreased apoptosis were observed. In contrast, the groups with GME treated rat’s elicited significant (&lt;em&gt;P&lt;/em&gt; &amp;lt; 0.001) reduction in ornithine decarboxylase, lysosomal enzymes and decreased cell proliferation with increased apoptosis. GME has effective chemo preventive property and can serve as an anticarcinogenic therapeutic drug against hepatocellular carcinoma.&lt;/p&gt;

However, the plant has not been explored much. In the present scenario of drug resistance and toxicity associated with available drugs, there is a need for elaborated studies of plants like &lt;em&gt;Paronychia argeneta&lt;/em&gt; which had been used as folk medicines. &lt;strong&gt;Aim and Objectives:&lt;/strong&gt; The present article is focused on reviewing the ethnopharmacology, phytochemistry, traditional usage, biological activities, of &lt;em&gt;Paronychia argentea&lt;/em&gt; which has been used in traditional medicinal system for ages. The aim of the study was to assess the ethnopharmacological usage of this plant and to explore therapeutic potentials and future opportunities for research. &lt;strong&gt;Materials and Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; Information on the traditional usage and studies of the &lt;em&gt;Paronychia argentea&lt;/em&gt; was gathered from from various journals, MSc dissertation, conference abstract, local books. Various search engines including Google Scholar, Baidu Scholar, Elsevier, ACS, Pubmed, Web of Science, CNKI and EMBASE were used to collect the information along with libraries. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;Paronychia argentea&lt;/em&gt; has played an important role in traditional medicines in Algeria, Portugal, Israel and Jordan. The aerial parts of this plant are used as diuretics in Algerian traditional medicines and are used as antiurolithiasis. Leaf decoction of this plant is also used as diuretic. &lt;em&gt;Paronychia argentea&lt;/em&gt; has been used as analgesic, treatment of stomach ulcer, anorexia, and flatulence in Portugal. Scientific studies on extracts of &lt;em&gt;Paronychia&lt;/em&gt; revealed a wide range of pharmacological activities including anti-microbial activity, anti-oxidant, nephroprotective activity. Moreover, few reports have given contradictory data for usage of &lt;em&gt;Paronychia &lt;/em&gt;when compared with its traditional usage. As in the case of alpha-amylase inhibitory efficacy of PA, it was observed that PA inhibits alpha-amylase activity but later on it was proven that PA does not have a hypoglycemic effect. Main bioactive metabolites present in this plant include alkaloids, flavonoids, volatile oils, etc. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusions:&lt;/strong&gt; Based on this review, there are evidences from various studies regarding pharmacological effects of this plant as nephroprotective, anti-oxidant, anti-microbial activity. Some indications from &lt;em&gt;in vitro &lt;/em&gt;studies have confirmed the inhibitory activity of this plant extract against alpha amylase enzyme. The available literature showed that most of the activities of the &lt;em&gt;Paronychia&lt;/em&gt; can be accredited to the flavonoids present in them. Data regarding mechanisms of action of this plant along with pharmacokinetics, toxicology studies is still limited, which indicate the need of such studies for the clinical usage of this plant.&lt;/p&gt;
