Cancer is among the leading causes of death worldwide and its treatment includes radiotherapy, chemotherapy, surgery, hormonal therapy, and now a day’s targeted therapy. Chemotherapy includes treatment of cancer by the use of certain drugs that causes damage or stress to the tumour cells. Doxorubicin is the commonly used drug to treat many types of cancer. Regardless of its great anti-tumour efficiency, it has several side effects. One of the major side effects is cardiotoxicity. Several mechanisms are proposed by which DOX induces cardiotoxicity. Out of them major one is oxidative stress. Antioxidants are the compounds that inhibit oxidation and can prevent damage to the cells caused by free radicals. Antioxidants can be derived from natural or artificial sources. Plants are rich in antioxidant and can be used as traditional and complementary medicine for the treatment of side effects associated with the doxorubicin.
