    Chemoprevention by utilization of natural products has emerged as an important strategy that has the potential to prevent the occurrence of cancer mainly by slowing the process of carcinogenesis. Laboratory data supported by several epidemiological and some clinical studies have validated that bioactive food components produce a broad spectrum of activities that ultimately culminate in prolonging the development time for cancer outcome. With an armamentarium of over 1500 such compounds great hope for cancer control rest on chemoprevention. Despite remarkable effectiveness in preclinical settings, its applicability to human has met with limited success mainly due to inefficient systemic delivery and poor bioavailability of promising chemopreventive agents. Thus, novel strategies are needed to enhance the bioavailability and reduced perceived toxicity associated with the long-term use o.. View More»
