“…It has been reported that the main components of fenugreek include fixed oil, mucilage, organic phosphorus compounds, choline, trigonelline, and a saponin, which yields diosgenin on hydrolysis (Baytop, 1999). It has been shown that the seeds of T. foenum graecum have blood glucose-reducing (Madar et al, 1988;Ali et al, 1995; Al-Habori and Raman, 1998), cholesterol-lowering (Al-Habori and Raman, 1998), antinociceptive (Javan et al, 1997), and nematicidal (Zia et al, 2001) effects. They are also used for the treatment of urinary system diseases, including prostate disorders and kidney stones, in humans (Ali-Shtayeh et al, 2000).…”

Background: The main goals of our study were as follows: (1) to investigate whether the methanolic extract of the new cultivar (Gürarslan) of Trigonella foenum graecum L. seeds exhibit antiproliferative effects on the HeLa human cervix carcinoma, Mat-LyLu rat prostate carcinoma and 3T3 embryonic mouse fibroblast cell lines, (2) to determine how mitosis and DNA synthesis are affected in cancer cells by the extract, and (3) to observe the changes in cell morphology after treatment with the extract. Materials and Methods: The effect on cell proliferation of these extracts was detected by using methyl thiazolyl diphenyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay. Mitotic index and labelling index was determined using the Feulgen staining and autoradiography methods, respectively. Results: Our findings show that the methanolic extract of T. foenum graecum seeds might have antiproliferative properties on the cancer cell lines only, but not on the 3T3 embryonic mouse fibroblast cell line. Conclusion: Our data show that the new variety of T. foenum graecum may have antitumoral properties.

“…Nematicidal eff ects of fenugreek have been reported by Zia et al (2001). They noted that larvae from the common phytopathogenic soil nematode Meloidogyne javanica, which is responsible for a number of diseases in commercial and food crops in tropical, sub-tropical and temperate countries, are eff ectively killed by fenugreek.…”

Fenugreek, an Alternative Crop for Semiarid Regions of North America

Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum‐graecum L.) is extensively used as a spice in India and the Mediterranean region and is known to possess a number of medicinal properties. Steroidal sapogenins and mucilaginous fibers present in the seed and leaves of this legume plant contribute to anti‐diabetic and hypocholesterolaemic properties attributed to the plant. In recent years selected genotypes of this species have formed a niche crop that produces high yields of bloat‐free forage that can increase both beef and milk production in semiarid regions of western Canada. Fenugreek genotypes tested in western Canada have demonstrated genetic variability for biomass production and nutraceutical properties indicating that there is much potential for enhancing the properties desired by agricultural and nutraceutical industries in this region. This paper reviews the history, culture and documented medicinal, agronomic and environmental value of fenugreek as well as discusses future potential of this crop for use in semiarid regions of North America.
