The burden of neoplastic diseases is a significant global health challenge accounting for thousands of deaths. In Uganda, about 32,617 cancer cases were reported in 2018, accompanied by 21,829 deaths. In a view to identify some potential anticancer plant candidates for possible drug development, the current study was designed to compile the inventory of plants with reported anticancer activity used in rural Uganda and the evidences supporting their use in cancer therapy. An electronic survey in multidisciplinary databases revealed that 29 plant species belonging to 28 genera distributed among 24 families have been reported to be used in the management of cancer in Uganda. Anticancer plants were majorly from the families Bignoniaceae (7%), Caricaceae (7%), Fabaceae (7%), Moraceae (7%), and Rutaceae (7%). Most species occur in the wild (52%), though some are cultivated (48%). The growth habit of the plants is as trees (55%) or herbs (45%). Anticancer extracts are usually prepared from leaves (29%), bark (24%), roots (21%), and fruits (13%) through decoctions (53%), as food spices (23%) or pounded to produce ointments that are applied topically (10%). Prunus africana (Hook.f.) Kalkman, Opuntia species, Albizia coriaria (Welw. ex Oliver), Daucus carota L., Cyperus alatus (Nees) F. Muell., Markhamia lutea (Benth.) K. Schum., and Oxalis corniculata L. were the most frequently encountered species. As per global reports, Allium sativum L., Annona muricata L., Carica papaya L., Moringa oleifera Lam., Opuntia species, Prunus africana (Hook.f.) Kalkman, and Catharanthus roseus (L.) G. Don. are the most studied species, with the latter having vincristine and vinblastine anticancer drugs developed from it. Prostate, cervical, breast, and skin cancers are the top traditionally treated malignancies. There is a need to isolate and evaluate the anticancer potential of the bioactive compounds in the unstudied claimed plants, such as Cyperus alatus (Nees) F. Muell., Ficus dawei Hutch., Ficus natalensis Hochst., and Lovoa trichilioides Harms, and elucidate their mechanism of anticancer activity.

“…Similar result was obtained using Eichhornia crassipe. 17 Bridelia ferruginea Leaf-mediated Iron nanoparticles (FeNP-BFL) showed absorption peak at 400 nm as shown in Figure 3b Figure 4a, the XRD peaks at 2θ values match to the crystal planes of 28° = 111 of Bridelia ferruginea leaf extract-mediated Iron nanoparticles. The analyzed diffraction peaks matched well with the standard magnetite XRD patterns using JCPDS (card number 87-1164).…”

“…Several studies have shown that many natural products have antioxidant activity, including phenols and flavonoids. 31,32 Table 1 and Figure 2 illustrate the antioxidant activity of guava leaf extracts. PG leaf extract showed the highest antioxidant capacity compared to other guava leaf extracts, while SM leaf extracts showed the lowest antioxidant capacity compared to the other two types of guava leaves from the genus Syzygium.…”

Some plants belonging to the Myrtaceae family are various guavas from the Syzygium genus, such as Syzygium samarangense (Blume) Merr. & L.M. Perry (SS), Syzygium malaccense (L.) Merr. and Perry. (SM), and Syzygium aqueum (Burm.f.) Alston (SA). These three guavas are easy to obtain and are widely grown in Indonesia. These three guava leaves have pharmacological properties similar to those of PG leaves. The genus Syzygium has traditionally been used to treat diarrheal disorders, diabetes, inflammation, bronchitis, and acid reflux/ulcers. 1 This genus has been scientifically proven to have antioxidant, antimicrobial, antifungal, antiviral, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antihypertensive, antihyperglycemic, sedative, and spasmolytic activities. [5][6][7] Several pharmacological studies have reported that SS, SM, and SA have antioxidant and antimicrobial activities. [8][9][10][11] The phenolics, flavonoids, and tannins in the polyphenolic content of Syzygium species contribute to their antioxidant activity. The profile of these metabolites in the plant extracts can easily be studied using thinlayer chromatography (TLC) techniques. The present study therefore, is aimed at investigating the polyphenolic contents in terms of total phenolic, flavonoids, and tannins in the leaves of three selected Syzygium species and evaluate their antioxidant activity in comparison to PG leaves. Materials and Methods Plant materialsThe four types of guava leaves were collected from the Duren Sawit district (East Jakarta) in February, 2022. The plant sample was identified, authenticated, and given a voucher number B-571/DI.05.
