TRADITIONAL USE OF GRAVIOLA
BENEFITS OF GRAVIOLA OR SOURSOP
ADJUVANT AGAINST CANCER
Graviola leaves can inhibit cancer cells and help in cancer treatment. In fact, research has shown that Graviola has an active ingredient that is 10,000 times more powerful than chemotherapy in fighting cancer cells. In this way, graviola leaves could treat different types of cancer, including prostate, lung and breast cancer. Annonaceae acetogenins are waxy substances resulting from the combination of long chain fatty acids (C33 or C34) with a 2-propanol unit at carbon 2 to form a lactone. A study conducted at Pardue University in California showed that acetogenins can selectively inhibit the growth of cancer cells and also inhibit the growth of tumor cells resistant to Adriamycin (chemotherapeutic drug). In another study carried out by scientists from the same University, it was shown that soursop (graviola) acetogenins are extremely potent, having an ED50 (lethal dose 50) of up to 10 – 9 micrograms per milliliter, resulting in about 10,000 times the potency of Adriamycin.
