Moringa is a plant that is native to the sub-Himalayan areas of India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan. It is also grown in the tropics. The leaves, bark, flowers, fruit, seeds, and root are used to make medicine.

Moringa is used for “tired blood” (anemia); arthritis and other joint pain (rheumatism); asthmacancerconstipationdiabetesdiarrheaepilepsystomach painstomach and intestinal ulcers; intestinal spasms; headache; heart problems; high blood pressurekidney stones; fluid retention; thyroid disorders; and bacterial, fungal, viral, and parasitic infections.

Cancers are the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide, with approximately 14 million new cases and 8.2 million cancer related deaths (Fuglie, 1999). The number of new cases is expected to rise by about 70% over the next 2 decades. Among men, the 5 most common sites of cancer diagnosed were lung, prostate, colorectum, stomach, and liver cancer. Among women the 5 most common sites diagnosed were breast, colorectum, lung, cervix, and stomach cancer (WHO, 2015; De Martel et al., 2012).

It is found that Moringa oleifera extracts significantly exhibit apoptosis-mediated cell death and cell cycle arrest associated with remarkable changes in the cell phenotypic properties in both beast MDA-MB-231 and colorectal HCT-8 cancerous cell lines. 

Impact of Moringa extracts on different cancer cell lines was investigated showing that Moringa root core (Rc) effectively kills all types of cancer HepG2, MCF7, HCT 116, and Caco-2 cell lines, sparing normal cells with minimal effects. On the other hand, Moringa root outer crust (Ro) effectively kills HepG2, HCT 116, and Caco-2 cell lines, while slightly inhibits breast cancer MCF7 cells.
