Epigallocatechin gallate is the most abundant catechin, it is present in plants, Solanum nigrum is a medicinal plant with many phytochemicals in them. The cell cycle is a normal process although if controlled can lead to cancer, the uncontrolled proliferation of the cells are controlled by the antioxidant compounds present in them. This present study is to done on the fact that antioxidants in plants act as anticancer agents.
