The secret guava molecule can fight liver cancer

For example, the bark of salicylic trees is aspirin as it contains a chemical called salicin. The human body turns salicin into salicylic acid, which relieves pain and fights fever.

William’s new research, associate professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Biochemistry at Dilayer University, and his laboratory, uses a molecule in tropical fruit to provide hope in fighting liver -related cancers, which is one of the most important causes of cancer deaths in the world.

Using a process called the total synthesis of the natural product, a series and laboratory group invented a path that uses chemicals available widely to create particles in the Guava Factory known to fight these deadly cancers. The work was published in one of the leading chemistry publications, the International Journal Applied chemistry.

Research scientists all over the world provides an easy and low -cost way to create large quantities of naturally that occur, and opens the doors to more effective and cheaper treatments.

The series said: “The majority of the clinical drugs are either made of a natural product or are based on.” “But there is not enough natural resources to make adequate treatments. Now chemists will be able to take our manuscripts and follow our” description “mainly and can make them themselves.”

Discover calls for cooperation with scientists all over the world.

“We are the first to open this path, and others can bring him back in any way,” said Liam Ajraradi, a doctorate at the series Laboratory and the first author.

The potential effect is tremendous. The number of liver and liver cancer has grown in recent years, as every 125 men and women worldwide have been diagnosed with hepatic cell cancer throughout their lives.

In the United States, liver cancer chemical treatments are a healthy burden of billions of dollars and survival rates for the current five -year liver cancer in the late stage less than 15 %. In 2025 in the United States alone, more than 42,000 people will be diagnosed and more than 30,000 their battlefields will lose.

The team works with the National Cancer Institute for the following steps for the operation, and whether the guava molecule may be effective in combating other types of cancer.
