PELARGONDIN - A POTENTIAL CURE TO CANCER
Abstract
Cancer is one of the main causes of death in the present day and causes the second largest death next to cardiovascular. There are many naturally available medicines to cure cancers. One such plant constituent is the Anthocyanins. These are the flavonoid groups of plant pigments which give red , blue and purple colours. There are 10 known substituents of Anthocyanins. The present investigation aims at screening the best substituent for hDHFR, a potential cancer drug.
Key words: Anthocyanins, hDHFR, Natural Cancer drugs, Anthocyanin Substituents .
