Abstract
Ehrlich model is mammary cancer it is passed via intraperitoneal passages from a mouse to another. Because of the ability of Ehrlich tumor to grow and spread rapidly after transplantation, it has been used in many experimental studies looking for a way to fight diseases and reduce its risk. The Ehrlich solid tumor (EST), derived from the mouse breast adenocarcinoma which is an aggressive and fast growing carcinoma able to develop both in the ascitic (EAC) or in the solid form depending whether inoculated intraperitoneously or subcutaneously, respectively. Plants and their products have a variety of biological activities that include anti-tumor, anti-inflammation, and antioxidant activities. However, natural products have inspired many researchers who have recommended the use of natural resources to prevent some tumors and chronic diseases.
