The present study focused on anticancer, antitumor anticarcinogenic and cancer preventive activities of bioactive compounds found in plants belonging to Fabaceae family. The bioactive compounds and their scientific details were mining from publically available phytochemical databases (Dr. Duke’s phytochemistry and ethnobotanical database and USDA phytochemical database). Fabaceae family is one of the largest family which includes 18,860 plant species, of them, 12 plant species were identified to posses 106 bioactive compounds related to cancer treatment. The plant species such as Acacia nilotica, Arachis hypogaea, Cajanus cajan, Crotalaria juncea, Glycine max, Mimosa pudica, Pisum sativum, Psoralea esculenta, Tamarindus indica, Trifolium pratense, Trigonella foenum-graecum and Vigna subterranean possess bioactive compounds leading to cancer treatment.

Phytochemical Compound, Anticancer, Antitumor and Cancer Preventive Activities.
INTRODUCTION: Cancer is a group of diseases involving abnormal cell growth with the potential to invade or spread to other parts of the body. It has become a big threat to human beings globally. The high mortality rate among cancer patients is an indication of the limited efficiency of the current therapies including radiation therapy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy and surgery.
In recent years, focus on plant research by scientists and pharmacologists has increased all over the world and a large body of evidence has been accumulated to highlight the immense potential of medicinal plants used in various traditional systems of medicine 1, 2, 3. Plants-derived compounds such as Beta carotene, Alpha-tocopherol, Alanine, fibre, Caffeic acid, Tannin, Kaempferol, Ascorbic acid, Limonene, Daidzein, Rutin, and niacin have played an important role in the development of several clinically useful anticancer agents 4. Despite this encouraging preamble and the abundant literature describing the molecular mechanisms triggered by phytochemicals to inhibit cell growth and induce apoptosis in cancer cells, only a few of them entered clinical trials. So, the present study focuses on bioactive compounds found in the Fabaceae family which leads to cancer treatment. Further, the present study will explain the putative mechanism(s) of action of largely studied phytoresources from in vitro and in vivo studies, and the current status of their clinical applications in view of their realistic adoption as single chemotherapeutic agents or as chemosensitizers, in association with canonical and novel anticancer drugs.
MATERIALS AND METHODS:
Data-mining of bioactive phytochemicals:
In the present study, the bioactive phytochemicals which are having potential of cancer treatment and cancer prevention were manually mining from publically available phytochemical databases (Dr. Duke’s phytochemistry and ethnobotanical database (www.ars-grin.gov/duke).
Collection and mining of literatures of bioactive compounds as therapeutic agents:
The literatures related to anticancer, antitumor cancer preventive activities of phytoresources were collected from publically available online sources. The full texts of peer-reviewed scientific publications in a variety of journal were manually mining from the online sources such as Google scholar (http://scholar.google.co.in/) and pubmed (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed). The said journal was selected to capture the greatest quantity of high-quality data in a cost, and time-effective manner. From each publication, details of the compounds tested, the assays performed and any target information for these assays were abstracted.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION:
In Fabaceae family, there are 12 plant species were identified as lead for cancer drugs. They are such as Acacia nilotica, Arachis hypogaea, Cajanus cajan, Crotalaria juncea, Glycine max, Mimosa pudica, Pisum sativum, Psoralea esculenta, Tamarindus indica, Trifolium pratense, Trigonella foenum graecum and Vigna subterranea. These plant species possessed 106 bioactive compounds related to anticancer, antitumor anticarcinogenic and cancer preventive agents. Among these phytochemical compounds, 23 phytochemical compounds were found to be possess anticancer activity, 49 phytochemical compounds possess antitumor activity, 15 phytochemical compounds possess Anticarcinogenic activity and 79 phytochemical compounds possess cancer preventive activity (Table 1).

V. subterranean showed preventive effect on lung cancer and liver cancer induced by morphine and sodium nitrite 21. Several animal studies of chemical induced carcinogenesis demonstrated that phytochemicals are able to inhibit cancer development (pre-initiation) and also able to cure cancer 22, 23, 24. Due to the variety of their physiological roles in plant tissues in regulating enzymes involved in cell metabolism and in mechanisms of defence against foreign agents (radiations, viruses, parasites), phytochemicals have been associated to pleiotropic effects in animal cells. Phytochemicals attracted scientists’ interests since the demonstration that their biological targets in mammalian cells were the same involved in inflammatory processes and oncogenic transformation, such alterations of cell cycle control, apoptosis evasion, angiogenesis and metastases.
In addition, a large number of epidemiological studies suggested that a daily intake of phytochemicals can reduce the incidence of several types of cancers 25.
CONCLUSION: In the present study, the anticancer activities of a group of phytochemicals representing good candidates for chemopreventive and chemotherapeutic applications have been reviewed. They have been selected from the available literatures. All compounds given in this paper are commonly found in the edible plants. They are cultivated by the farmers and some them naturally grow. All of them are available in the Indian vegetative environment. Well documented the presence of anticancer activities of these plants was supported by various experimental models, namely cell cultures and animal models of induced carcinogenicity. These molecules are largely cited in the current literatures and their activities are often associated with the term chemoprevention. The results of the present study may provide a foundation for designing new drug to ascertain the full chemopreventive and chemotherapeutic efficacy of phytochemicals.
