Abstract | Flaxseed ( Linum usitatissimum) has garnered attention for its potential health benefits , particularly its role in combating colon cancer and bacterial infections . This study aims to elucidate the mechanisms by which flaxseed exerts its effects and evaluate its overall efficacy. A comprehensive review of existing literature was conducted , alongside laboratory involving in vitro models . The anticancer effects were evaluated using human colon cancer cell lines, while antibacterial properties were tested against a spectrum of pathogenic bacteria. Flaxseed exhibited significant antiproliferative effects on colon cancer cells ,primarily through the induction of apoptosis and inhibition of cell cycle progression . Key bioactive compounds, such as lignans , omega-3fatty acids, and fiber, were identified as major contributors to these effects. In antibacterial assays, flaxseed demonstrated broad-spectrum activity, inhibiting the growth of several clinically relevant bacteria strains. The presence of lignans and omega-3fatty acids played a crucial role in disrupting bacterial cell walls and interfering with metabolic processes. The findings suggest that flaxseed holds substantial promise as a natural therapeutic agent against colon cancer and bacterial infections. Its dual action , mediated by a complex interplay of bioactive compounds , highlights its potential for inclusion in dietary strategies and development into functional foods or complementary therapies. |
