Cancers
makes skullcap plant a match for cutting-edge remedy
The secrets and evolutionary techniques that allow the
medicinal herb called Spike Cap to provide most cancer-fighting
Compounds
have been unlocked through a collaboration of UK and Chinese-language researchers
This gave the researchers the
genetic data, microevolutionary records, needed to learn how the plant
produces the compound scutebarbatine
A, which works against many cancer cells.
Professor Cathie Martin,
head of organization at the Loo Innes Center and one of the study authors,
We found that
the main metabolite has activity against cancer cells, but not against non-cancer cells.
We are now
looking to expand artificial techniques to generate more of the parent compound
In traditional
Chinese medicine (TCM), to isolate the medicinal chemistry of the plant, the herb is boiled in water
