Moringa oleifera Lam: Targeting Chemoprevention

Moringa oleifera Lam, family Moringaceae, is a perennial plant which is called various names, but is locally known in Malaysia as ‘’murungai’’ or ‘’kelor’’. Glucomoringin, a glucosinolate with from M. oleifera is a major secondary metabolite compound. The seeds and leaves of the plant are reported...
