In the study of Wiley and Sons (2016), Syzygium samarangense was undertaken to rationalize the use of it in hypermotility states of the gut. The hexane extract of S. samarangense was found to dose‐dependently (10–3000 µg/mL) relax the spontaneously contracting isolated rabbit jejunum. These results indicate that the presence of compounds with spasmolytic and calcium antagonist activity may be responsible for the medicinal use of the plant in diarrhea. In this study, a phytochemical profiling of a methanol extract from leaves of Syzygium samarangense revealed 92 compounds belonging to flavonoids, phenolic acids, condensed tannins, and ellagitannins. These results were confirmed by histopathological analyses. They believed that Syzygium samarangense is a good candidate for further evaluation as an antioxidant and liver protecting drug.
M. Galia and J. Galia (2016), evaluated the antiangiogenic activity of Tinospora rumphii Boerl leaf and stem extracts using the number of new blood vessels formed in the chorioallantoic membrane of fertilized mallard embryos. Results of the CAM assay showed that the T. rumphii extracts exhibit antiangiogenic property. These findings led to the conclusion that the T. rumphii extracts have antiangiogenic potential and that the combination of leaf and stem extracts inhibit angiogenesis more than the leaf extract or the stem extract.
Pachava et al. (2018), tried to evaluate the anti-angiogenic activity of various crude extracts of Moringa oleifera Lam leaves. The anti-angiogenic activity was evaluated by employing in vivo CAM assay model. Among all the extracts, ethyl acetate extract of Moringa oleifera Lam at a dose of 100 µg showed significant inhibition of neovascularization (70%) when compared with other extracts. Jadhav, Mane and Kanase (2011), stated that Boerhaavia diffusa is used in Ayurvedic medicine system to treat various health problems. Present work deals with analysis of the antiangiogenic properties of B. diffusa extracts by chicken chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) assay in vivo. These observations support strong claims of antiangiogenic ethnomedical properties of this plant.
Ramachandran et al. , (2003) showed pomegranate seed oil and fermented juice polyphenols to retard oxidation and prostaglandin synthesis, to inhibit breast cancer cell proliferation and invasion, and to promote breast cancer cell apoptosis. They evaluated the anti-angiogenic potential of these materials in several ways. They showed a significant decrease in new blood vessel formation using the chicken chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) model in vivo. As indicated by Kim, M S, et al. (2000), Torilin decreased both neovascularization of chick embryos in the chorioallantoic membrane. Taken together, their data suggest that torilin may be a strong angiogenic inhibitor with the ability to decrease tube formation of vascular endothelial cells and to reduce expression of angiogenic factors of tumor cells. T, et al. (2004) used in vivo and in vitro CAM for testing the comparison in cutting capacity of a novel plasma-mediated dissector called the Pulsed Electron Avalanche Knife (PEAK) versus micro-surgical scissors. The easy accessibility of CAM compared to the retina in an experimental animal, it allows for rapid and repeated testing of various surgical tools and maneuvers on a highly vascular tissue in vivo. As another option, CAM can be excised and pinned to an agarose-lined, Petri dish to allow for in vitro experimentation. Roy, et al. (2002), discussed that edible berries may have potent chemopreventive properties. Six berry extracts (wild blueberry, bilberry, cranberry, elderberry, raspberry seed, and strawberry) and a grape seed proanthocyanidin extract (GSPE) were studied. This effect was not shared by other antioxidants such as alpha-tocopherol or GSPE but was commonly shared by pure flavonoids. Matrigel assay using human dermal microvascular endothelial cells showed that edible berries impair angiogenesis.
Bashir and Qadir (2017), evaluated the anti-angiogenic properties of the ginger extract using CAM assay.

. According to Lee et al. (2015), Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn (Nymphaeaceae) has long been used as a traditional herb in Chinese, Japanese, Indian, and Korean medicinal practices since prehistoric times. This study reported the potent ability of N. nucifera leaf extracts to inhibit vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-induced angiogenesis in vitro and in vivo, in this study, N. nucifera leaf extracts displayed potent antioxidant and inhibitory effects on VEGF-induced angiogenesis. Moreover, N. nucifera leaf extracts significantly blocked VEGF-induced ROS production in HUVECs, confirming their possible anti-angiogenic mechanism.
As indicated by Deryugina and Quigley (2008), angiogenesis plays an important role in various standard physiological processes as well as in tumor neovascularization associated with cancer development. Among numerous animal model systems designed to examine the mechanisms underlying angiogenesis, chick embryo models have been practical tools in analyzing the angiogenic potential of purified factors and intact cells. The chorioallantoic membrane (CAM), a specialized, highly vascularized tissue of the avian embryo, serves as an ideal indicator of the anti- or pro-angiogenic properties of test compounds.
Lemus et al. (2018), stated that tumor growth is the result of combined cell proliferation overwhelming cell death and neoangiogenesis. This report shows CAM angiogenesis promoted by TA3 tumor supernatant with or without low dosis of betamethasone (Minimal antiangiogenic concentration: ß-MAAC). The results show that ß-MAAC produced a significant inhibition of neovascularization. The results show that effective antiangiogenic doses of betamethasone are in the range of 10-7 M, (probably a genomic mediated action) and that this effect of low concentration may have clinical applications.
According to Ribatti (2016), amid avian improvement the mesodermal layers of the allantois and chorion fuse to shape the chorioallantoic film (CAM). The CAM is moderately straightforward, speedy, and ease demonstrate that permits screening of an extensive number of pharmacological specimens in a brief span; does not require regulatory methodology for getting morals board of trustee’s endorsement for creature experimentation. D'Amato, Loughnan, Flynn, and Folkman (1994), have demonstrated that orally administered thalidomide is an inhibitor of angiogenesis induced by basic fibroblast growth factor in a rabbit cornea micro pocket assay. These experiments shed light on the mechanism of thalidomide's teratogenicity and hold promise for the potential use of thalidomide as an orally administered drug for the treatment of many diverse diseases dependent on angiogenesis.
As indicated by Oak, El Bedoui and Schini-kerth (2004), Epidemiological studies have indicated that regular consumption of red wine and green tea is associated with a reduced risk of coronary heart disease and tumor progression. The ability of RWPCs and GTPs to prevent the formation of new blood vessels contributes, at least in part, to explain their beneficial effect on coronary heart disease and cancer. This review focuses on the antiangiogenic properties of natural polyphenols and examines underlying mechanisms.
