A study by researchers from the University of Sao Paulo and Paulista University in Brazil revealed Annona hypoglauca, commonly known as beriba in the Brazilian Amazon region, contains bioactive compounds with potent anticancer and antimicrobial activity. Their findings, which were published in The Brazilian Journal of Pharmacognosy, were based on the results of various in vitro studies.
Overall, the results of the study show that beriba has potent antimicrobial and anticancer effects that can be attributed to the presence of aporphine alkaloids.
