It makes a path to global tombstoning, the finest reason for the morbidity and mortality across the world<sup>1<\/sup>. <sup>&nbsp;<\/sup>Modalities that are currently involving in the cancer treatment are radiation, hormonal, chemotherapy and also surgical interventions. Even though great effective improvement exhibited by all the above therapies but finally ends with serious toxic and hazardous side effects<sup>2<\/sup>. As the part of cancer treatment, chemotherapeutic agents such as vinblastine, vincristine and other drugs nearly 60% are contributed by natural substances or their by products, recognized by FDA (Food and Drug Administration)<sup> 3<\/sup>. &nbsp;In present cancer treatment, the role of chemotherapeutic agents has been limited due to emergence of drug resistance, multiple side effects and expensiveness. This makes a key role for researchers in persistent investigation of novel medicinal plants possessing potent anticancer activities and minimal side effects with least investment, enormously increasing in present era<sup>4<\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p>Establishment of anticancer properties of various species of medicinal plants, which plays vital role in herbal medicine, commonly used in low economic countries, was extensively revealed by a vast number of researchers<sup>5-6<\/sup>. In view of worldwide cancer drugs sales during the year 2000, it was noticed that 14 drugs, out of 35 top cancer drugs were obtained from natural resources or their derivatives. Thus, it gives an important lead to investigate plenty of novel natural substances from medicinal plants<sup>7<\/sup>. It has been observing that there is a tremendous increase in attraction towards free radical and their derived products in recent years. The well known reactive species of oxygen (ROS) and nitrogen derived oxidising elements include hydrogen peroxide (H<sub>2<\/sub>O<sub>2<\/sub>), superoxide (O<sub>2<\/sub><sup>\u2212<\/sup>) anion, reactive hydroxyl radical (OH<sup>\u2212<\/sup>), peroxyl radical (ROO\u2212) and also peroxynitrite anion radical(ONOO), nitric oxide radical (NO) respectively<sup>8<\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p>In present scenario majority of physiological disorders and diseases are the outcomes of oxidative stress, where disproportion symmetry between biosynthesis and neutralization of pre oxidants, concluded by current revealed results. Free radicals play a key role in initiation of oxidative stress, which ends with damage of endogenous biomolecules such as nucleic acids, lipids and proteins by pairing with them in order to attain stability. The above modifications in oxidative stress are greatly responsible for the initiation and development of countless physiological disorders like neurodegenerative, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, respiratory and also particularly involved in various types of malignancies<sup>9<\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p>It is most familiar that excellent antioxidant and anticancer potentials exhibited by plant rich phytoconstituents like tannins, phenolic compounds and flavonoids. Some studies reported fine linear relationship between increased life expectancy and decreased incidence of cancer mortality as well as coronary heart disease due to high dietary supplements of natural antioxidants<sup>10<\/sup>. Several natural polyphenolic compounds derived from plant origin or their crude fractions in in-vitro studies showed significantly higher antioxidant activities when compared to standard antioxidants like vitamin C as well as vitamin E. Well balanced consumption of vegetables and fruits, having high content of antioxidants notably lower the risk of numerous malignancies indicating that for the prevention of spread of cancer, antioxidants from natural sources could be efficient tools<sup>11<\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p><em>Cayratia auriculata<\/em> is belongs to family of Vitaceae, native of south Indian species. &nbsp;Cyphostemma auriculatum (Roxb) is the gamble synonym for<em> C. auriculata<\/em> (Roxb).

The absorbance of <em>C. auriculata<\/em>&nbsp; as well as standard antioxidant i.e. ascorbic acid&nbsp; fairly increased with increasing concentration, which is the resultant of varying shades of green chromophore (Fe2+-TPTZ complex) formation. Among four the four fractions viz. methanol, ethyl acetate, chloroform and hexane, methanol fraction revealed highest reduction capability than other fractions. The basic reason for ferric reducing power capacity because of&nbsp; the existence of&nbsp; phenol and polyphenolic compounds in various fractions in crude form of plants, antioxidant capacity by FRAP assay is a well known and &nbsp;the most significant indicator for the assessment of &nbsp;antioxidant potential of &nbsp;plant fractions <sup>43<\/sup>.<\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 70%;\" border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"5\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/biomedpharmajournal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Vol16No2_Pre_Nag_fig2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-48637\" src=\"https:\/\/biomedpharmajournal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Vol16No2_Pre_Nag_fig2-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Vol16No2_Pre_Nag_fig2\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/biomedpharmajournal.org\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Vol16No2_Pre_Nag_fig2-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/biomedpharmajournal.org\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Vol16No2_Pre_Nag_fig2-256x256.jpg 256w, https:\/\/biomedpharmajournal.org\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Vol16No2_Pre_Nag_fig2.jpg 782w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<td><strong>Figure 2: Absorbance of standard (Ascorbic acid) methanol, ethyl acetate, chloroform and hexane fractions of&nbsp; <em>C. auriculata <\/em>in Ferric reducing power assay model.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/biomedpharmajournal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Vol16No2_Pre_Nag_fig2.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Click here to view Figure<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><strong>Nitric oxide scavenging activity<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Homeostasis of many physiological functions, nitric oxide molecule (NO) plays a crucial role, which is produced endogenously from endothelial cells (EDRF) endothelial derived relaxing factor, neurons, macrophages and other cells<sup>44<\/sup>.
