Title A name given to the resource Multifaceted Anticancer Potential of Trigonella foenum-graecum Subject The topic of the resource Anti-angiogenic; Antiapoptotic; Anticancer; Antioxidant; Diosgenin; Trigonella foenum-graecum Description An account of the resource The past decade saw a revolution in the discovery of genetic and epigenetic factors paving way for various types of cancers. With a better understanding of the causes, comes a chance of wider possibility of targeting the root causes of cancer. Nature is a storehouse of natural anticancer molecules, many yet to be explored. Trigonella foenumgraecum (fenugreek) is one such plant, having a huge potential for modulating prophylactic and therapeutic aspects of cancer. Cuisines world over make uses of this legume in multiple ways. This small herb has been found to be loaded with many secondary metabolites like diosgenin, coumarin, trigonelline and so on that reduce inflammation, promote apoptosis, act as antioxidants, regulates cell proliferation, etc., thereby reducing the effects of various hallmarks of cancer. Components of T. foenum-graecum extracts have been found to be effective in alleviating both solid tumours and blood cancers. The milieu of phytochemicals present in T. foenum-graecum has already been shown to have antimicrobial, antioxidant and neuroprotective properties by several studies done in different parts of the world. The current chapter attempts to have a comprehensive look at the potential of various bioactive principles in Trigonella foenum-graecum to be used for the prevention and treatment of cancer. In today's global scenario, where cancer incidences are alarmingly rising, such natural remedies would indeed go a long way in preventing various types of cancer and imparting a better quality of life. 2021 Nova Science Publishers, Inc.
