**8. Conclusions**

Several investigations have been conducted on the bioactivities of Myanmar medicinal herbs. Novel anticancer medicines and lead compounds are still abundant in higher plants. The key benefits of anticancer natural compounds are their low toxicity, low cost, and wide range of modes of action. In this chapter, we examined and studied the potential of Myanmar medicinal plants as a source of cytotoxic compounds. Although several of these plants' metabolites exhibited potential bioactivities, some of them were determined to be inert or to have weak activities in present investigations. This chapter will surely assist academics and practitioners working with these specific plant species in determining the best application for them. Because the majority of cytotoxic effects are evaluated in vitro, their therapeutic advantages may not be adequately demonstrated. Animal models and human trials should be used in a future study to assess how effective they are at providing a platform for enhancing anticancer therapeutic approaches.
