In this study, researchers from Universiti Putra Malaysia examined the cytotoxicity, as well as the anti-tumor-promoting and antioxidant activities, of various Annona muricata extracts, including an isolated acetogenin called annonacin, in vitro. Their results were published in the Journal of Herbal Medicine.
Based on these results, the researchers concluded that A. muricata extracts and annonacin have anti-tumor-promoting properties that make them promising natural anti-cancer agents.
