“…Both the Hausa and Fulani ethnic groups in the region used powdered preparation of the plant materials to treat patients, whereas in some cases, a decocted crude drug is also used for patients with suspected internal tumours. Pharmacologically, the traditional use of G. senegalensis and E. sigmoidea for cancer treatment has also been demonstrated in vitro against prostate, breast, and liver ( Bello et al., 2017 ; Kuete et al., 2016 , 2014 ), leukaemia ( Kuete et al., 2016 , 2014 , 2012 ), cervical, colon ( Fiot et al., 2006 ; Kuete et al., 2016 , 2014 ), and glioblastoma ( Kuete et al., 2016 , 2014 ). A quite number of plant species that have been pharmacologically validated with anticancer properties are listed in Table 4 .…”

This study was designed to explore and record various medicinal plants integrated into the traditional system of medicine for the treatment of cancer. The traditional system of medicine is a routine practiced among the indigenous ethnic groups of Sokoto state. A semi-structured questionnaire was designed and used for data collection around the selected Local Government Areas. A substantial number of plant species were identified, recorded, and collected for preservation. Data collected for each specie was analysed to assess its frequent use among the medicinal plants. A total of 67 species belonging to 31 families have been identified and recorded. Out of the 473 frequency of citation (FC), Acacia nilotica was the most frequently cited specie (32 FC, 64% FC, 0.6 RFC), followed by Guiera senegalensis (27 FC, 54% FC, 0.5 RFC), Erythrina sigmoidea (17 FC, 34% FC, 0.3 RFC), and subsequently Combretum camporum (15 FC, 30% FC, 0.3 RFC). The most common parts of the plants used include the barks (55.2%), the roots (53.2%), and the leaves (41.8%). Additionally, decoction (74.6%), powdered form (49.3%), and maceration (46.3%) are the most frequently used mode of preparation. The historical knowledge of a traditional system of medicine practiced by the native traditional healers of Sokoto for the treatment of cancer has been documented. The present study further provides a baseline for future pharmacological investigations into the beneficial effects of such medicinal plants for the treatment of cancer.

“…Moringa oleiferna inhibited the cell proliferation of PC-3 cell lines in a concentration-dependent manner (IC 50 = 14.3 and 22.2 μg/mL) [110]. Silver nanoparticles (AgNps) of Guiera senegalensis leaves extract presented antiproliferation effect on PC-3 cell lines in a concentration-dependent manner (IC 50 = 23.48 μg/mL), indicating its potential applications in pharmacology for the treatment of cancers [180]. Similarly, AgNps from the aqueous extract of H. thebaica fruit inhibited the proliferation of prostate cancer cell lines in a dose dependent manner (IC 50 = 2.6 mg/mL) [181].…”

Prostate cancer is a heterogeneous disease, the second deadliest malignancy in men and the most commonly diagnosed cancer among men. Traditional plants have been applied to handle various diseases and to develop new drugs. Medicinal plants are potential sources of natural bioactive compounds that include alkaloids, phenolic compounds, terpenes, and steroids. Many of these naturally-occurring bioactive constituents possess promising chemopreventive properties. In this sense, the aim of the present review is to provide a detailed overview of the role of plant-derived phytochemicals in prostate cancers, including the contribution of plant extracts and its corresponding isolated compounds.

“…A reduction of 4-nitrophenol by AgNP was also presented in 2017 by Bello et al [56] (reaching 95% degradation after 36 min), Arya et al [57], Manjari et al [58], Farhadi et al [59], Francis et al [60], Bonigala et al [61], Muthu and Priya [62], Karthika et al [63], Mohanty and Jena [64], Patil et al [65], and Naraginti and Li [66]. Similar catalytic properties of silver nanoparticles were demonstrated for the degradation of Congo red [56,63], methylene blue and Congo red [57,58], methylene blue, methyl orange and methyl red [61], methyl orange [62], methylene blue [64,66], eosin Y (>97% degradation after 60 min) [67], Congo red [63,68], Coomassie Brilliant Blue G-250 [69], and a reduction of p -nitroaniline to p -phenylenediamine [70]. Phytosynthesized silver nanoparticles were also evaluated as catalysts for hydration of cyanamides in aqueous medium [71] and for the construction of pyrimido[1,2-b]indazole derivatives under solvent-free conditions [72].…”

Catalysis represents the cornerstone of chemistry, since catalytic processes are ubiquitous in almost all chemical processes developed for obtaining consumer goods. Nanocatalysis represents nowadays an innovative approach to obtain better properties for the catalysts: stable activity, good selectivity, easy to recover, and the possibility to be reused. Over the last few years, for the obtaining of new catalysts, classical methods—based on potential hazardous reagents—have been replaced with new methods emerged by replacing those reagents with plant extracts obtained in different conditions. Due to being diversified in morphology and chemical composition, these materials have different properties and applications, representing a promising area of research. In this context, the present review focuses on the metallic nanocatalysts’ importance, different methods of synthesis with emphasis to the natural compounds used as support, characterization techniques, parameters involved in tailoring the composition, size and shape of nanoparticles and applications in catalysis. This review presents some examples of green nanocatalysts, grouped considering their nature (mono- and bi-metallic nanoparticles, metallic oxides, sulfides, chlorides, and other complex catalysts).
