Abstract
Herbal medicine is the oldest form of medicine known to mankind. It was the mainstay of many early
civilizations and still the most widely practiced form of medicine in the world today. Plants generally produce many
secondary metabolites which are bio-synthetically derived from primary metabolites and constitute an important source
of many pharmaceutical drugs. This paper represented the second part of our previous review to highlight the anticancer
effects of the medicinal plants as a source of pharmaceutical research and therapeutic uses.
