Abstract
Terpenes are among the wide reaching and diversified collection of naturally occurring molecules. Terpenes possess broad range of therapeutic benefits. The ability of terpenes to terminate tumor growth and as a source to prompt cell apoptosis has focused over the anticancer activity of terpenes. Although terpenes act as a potential anticancer agent, nevertheless limited bioavailability is one of the main hitches that restricts the in vivo effectiveness of terpenes. In addition, some terpenes exert toxicological effects that need to confront. In this regard nanotechnology has proven to be an effective approach to pull out the bioavailability barriers with reduced toxicity by means of specific drug activity, enhanced drug permeability and high drug loading efficiency. This review addressed the potential therapeutic benefits of terpenes as anti-cancer agents, as well as the challenges that certain terpenes encountered and how nanotechnology can help to overcome them.
