| Nimbolide is a compound found in the neem tree (Azadirachta indica) and has been studied for its potential anti-cancer properties. It is a type of limonoid, a class of compounds that are commonly found in citrus fruits and other plants. Research has shown that nimbolide has anti-proliferative and pro-apoptotic effects on various types of cancer cells, including breast, lung, colon, and prostate cancer cells. It has also been shown to inhibit the growth of cancer cells by inducing cell cycle arrest and apoptosis (programmed cell death). Some of the ways in which nimbolide may help to prevent or treat cancer include: -Inhibiting the activity of certain enzymes that are involved in cancer cell growth and survival -Inducing the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that can damage cancer cells -Inhibiting the formation of new blood vessels that are needed to support the growth of cancer cells -Enhancing the effectiveness of chemotherapy and radiation therapy |

| The selectivity of cancer products (such as chemotherapeutic agents, targeted therapies, immunotherapies, and novel cancer drugs) refers to their ability to affect cancer cells preferentially over normal, healthy cells. High selectivity is important because it can lead to better patient outcomes by reducing side effects and minimizing damage to normal tissues. Achieving high selectivity in cancer treatment is crucial for improving patient outcomes. It relies on pinpointing molecular differences between cancerous and normal cells, designing drugs or delivery systems that exploit these differences, and overcoming intrinsic challenges like tumor heterogeneity and resistance Factors that affect selectivity: 1. Ability of Cancer cells to preferentially absorb a product/drug -EPR-enhanced permeability and retention of cancer cells -nanoparticle formations/carriers may target cancer cells over normal cells -Liposomal formations. Also negatively/positively charged affects absorbtion 2. Product/drug effect may be different for normal vs cancer cells - hypoxia - transition metal content levels (iron/copper) change probability of fenton reaction. - pH levels - antiOxidant levels and defense levels 3.
