Abstract: Betula is a versatile plant with several applications. D. Don (family Betulaceae) is a long-lived tree that has been known in Sanskrit for about 400 years as Himalayan birch, bhojpatra, or Bhurja. Its usefulness as a therapeutic plant is well acknowledged. Birch bark has recently been the topic of scientific study and industry given the presence contains triterpenoids including such betulinic acid as well as oleanolic acid, that are well for their anticancer actions. A new anticancer medication, betulinic acid promotes apoptosis in the cancer cells. Therefore, It was unique from other cancer treatments. A number of B. utilis species have been reported to contain phenolics as well as flavonoids. Suitable investigations were carried out to assess phytochemicals qualitatively using various solvents, as well as anticancer activities utilising the SRB test.
Keywords: phytochemicals, anticancer medication, cancer cells.
