Abstract
This study has investigated the possible mode of action of several phytochemicals known to possess
anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties. It was found by molecular docking studies that ferulic
acid, gallic acid, pcoumaric acid, vanillin, myrecene, 4-vinyl phenol and catechol interacted with the
binding sight of TNF-α which is the chief regulator of inflammation. This study suggest a possible
role of these phytochemicals as anticancer and anti-inflammatory agents.
