A recent study investigated the antiproliferative, apoptotic, and cytotoxic effects of compounds in the fruit of the yellow oleander (Thevetia peruviana) on human cancer cell lines. It indicated that the methanolic extract of the indigenous Mexican medicinal plant could serve as a safe and natural means of treating various human cancers. The findings of the study came out in the science journal BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine.
The study concluded that the fruit extract of the yellow oleander can inhibit the adhesion, motility, and proliferation of human breast and colorectal cancer cells. It can also cause human prostate and lung cancer cells to destroy themselves, while also having minimal effects on healthy human cells.
