In the present study the crude ethanolic and its succeeding solvent fractions of the aerial and roots parts of Viburnum grandiflorum were investigated for their in-vitro pharmacological (antifungal, phytotoxic and insecticidal) profile. In case of antifungal activity the n-hexane fraction was active against Microsporum canis having 35 percent zone of inhibition and ethyl acetate fraction were active against Fusarium solani with 10% zone of inhibition. The ethyl acetate fraction of aerial part was the most significant antifungal against F. solani with 30% zone of inhibition while the crude extract was 10% active against M. cani. The n-hexane, chloroform fractions and ethanolic extract of the root were significant phytotoxic having 70, 75 and 80% inhibition respectively. In case of aerial part the most significant phytotoxic effect was revealed by ethyl acetate with 85% inhibition followed by ethanolic extract with 80% growth of inhibition. The crude ethanolic extract of the aerial part showed 20, 40 and 40% mortality against Tribolium castaneum, Callosbruchus analis and Rhyzopertha dominica respectively. The n-hexane, chloroform and ethyl acetate fractions showed 20% mortality against C. analis and R. dominica. All the tested samples were significant insecticidal against R. dominica. The nhexane fraction of root was failed to produce any insecticidal effect, while the chloroform fraction was effective against C. analis and R. dominica with 20% mortality. The crude ethanolic extract and its ethyl acetate fraction showed 40% mortality C. analis and R. dominica.

Researchers and scientists synthesized numerous drugs and medications to treat cancer. These synthesized drugs related with many side reactions could deteriorate the quality of patient's life. Recently, various functional foods containing effective molecular components against cancer has gained much popularity as no side effects are associated with them and these are natural based product could be easily consumed and can left a long lasting health impression on the life of patients. Citrus peel enriched with flavonoids, polymethoxylated flavones and numerous bioactive components demonstrated anti-carcinogenic, anti-tumour, anti-proliferative and anti-inflammatory activities on skin cancer, gastric cancer, prostate cancer, oseophageal tumorigenesis, colon carcinogenesis, colorectal carcinoma cell, human squamous cell carcinoma and against human cancer cell lines. A novel functional natural product named Gold Lotion (GL) was formulated from citrus peel extract to inhibit the inflammation-associated tumorigenesis. Gold Lotion (GL) demonstrated a clear and promising strategy by in vivo analysis and result showed beneficial aspects to treat prostate cancer, skin cancer and colon cancer in mice. Six different orange peel extracts (OPEs) were prepared containing bioactive potential of polymethoxyflavones (PMFs) and hydroxylated PMFs (OH-PMFs). In vitro study of citrus flavonoids effects on the growth of a human squamous cell carcinoma cell line (HTB43) demonstrated the health benefit and anti-cancer effects by examination of four plant flavonoids (taxifolin, nobiletin, quercetin and tangeretin). Moreover, quercetin chalcone (QC) and pH-modified citrus pectin (MCP) are the modified substances of quercetin (a flavonoid) and citrus pectin (a polysaccharide found in the cell wall of plants). Earlier studies indicated that many antitumor properties due to immune stimulation, free radical scavenging, alteration of the mitotic cycle in tumor cells; gene expression modification, anti-angiogenesis activity and apoptosis induction are exhibited by quercetin. Prostate cancer and melanoma metastases are also inhibited by modified citrus pectin (MCP).

Garlic (Allium sativum L.) belongs to Liliaceae family. In ancient times, Aristotle, Pliny and Hippocrates incorporated a multiple and massive use of garlic (Allium sativum L.) in order to cure innumerable diseases. Garlic (Allium sativum L.) is one of the oldest cultured plant with various medicinal properties. Garlic (Allium sativum L.) contains 33 sulphur constituents, some other compounds and also a wide diversity of minerals i.e. Copper, Calcium, Magnesium, Selenium, Zinc, Germanium, Vitamin B1, A and C, Water and Fiber etc. Also, it involves 17 amino acids i.e. lysine, histidine, aspartic corrosive tryptophan, isoleucine, arginine, threonine, glutamine, proline, cysteine, alanine, valine, swine, methionine, glycine, leucine and phenylalanine. Garlic (Allium sativum L.) has a potential to cure tumors, cardiovascular or coronary disorders and many other viral and bacterial illnesses. Garlic is considered as the best antihypertensive. In many countries, progressions in AIDS\ HIV fatalities have resulted. Curative treatment in executioner cells action by the usage of garlic (Allium sativum L.). A scientific study protocol yields 100% positive outcomes by the utilization of garlic (Allium sativum L.) in regular diet. Garlic (Allium sativum L.) belongs to Liliaceae family is a cultured food intensely respected all via the world. At the start from olemic subjects".
