Graviola is an exciting cancer alternative remedy which medicinal properties have been
recognized for centuries by the native population of Amazon. Researches have been ongoing on
graviola since 1940s, and still several pharmaceutical industries and universities are continued to
explore the hidden healing power of this miracle herb.
Anti-cancerous effects of graviola have been demonstrated in various vitro studies, and because
of its traditional usage it is touted as cancer fighting herbal supplement. Graviola's leaves, bark,
seeds and fruit possess various health promoting properties that can be helpful for variety of
health concerns.
Graviola contains many active compounds and chemicals which have numerous healing
properties; one of them is natural phytochemicals known as annonaceous acetogenins which is
the main focus of researchers. Some researches have confirmed that annonaceous acetogenins
has potent anti-tumor properties and exhibit selective toxic property against tumor cells. Other
clinical studies also demonstrated the powerful anticancerous, antitumorous, and antiviral
properties of annonaceous acetogenins.
Recent studies have found that natural compounds of graviola, acetogenins have superb property
to inhibit the enzyme processes that are specifically present in membrane of cancerous cells.
Through this mechanism of action they are toxic for cancerous cells and don't create toxicity in
healthy cells. Purdue University published a promising news in 1997, that Annonaceous
acetogenins are not only effective in destroying tumor cells but also have ability to show resistance
to anti-cancer agents and appear to have a unique affinity for such resistant cells.
National Cancer Institute has been also explored the toxic effects of graviola against cancerous
cells in its plant screening program in 1976. In this plant screening program, it is illustrated that
graviola stem and leaves demonstrated active toxic effects against cancer cells. In various vitro
clinical trials, it has been studied that specific phytochemical acetogenins that are found in graviola
herb, have been shown their selective toxic effects against various cancerous cells like lung
carcinoma cell lines, prostate adenocarcinoma, breast tumor lines, liver cancer cell lines,
pancreatic carcinoma cell lines, colon adenocarcinoma cell lines and multi-drug resistant breast
adenocarcinoma. Other clinical findings conducted by scientists of Taiwan suggested that at very
low dosages, annonaceous acetogenins of graviola exhibited highly toxic effects particularly to
ovarian, breast, cervical, bladder and skin cancer cell lines.
Along with the antitumourous effects of graviola, it is also discovered that the compound
annonaceous acetogenins which are found in graviola herb, also exhibit antiparasitic, insecticidal,
and antimicrobial activities. The graviola (Annona muricata) leaves possess antioxidant potential

2. and play a role as an effective radical scavenger and augments its therapeutic effects. Another
clinical study on graviola also suggests that alkaloids present in graviola fruit showed
antidepressants effects in animals.
Graviola cancer cure is still under investigation, but it is clearly inspiring that it is used world widely
for its potential to cure serious ailments. Graviola extracts, Graviola powder other and Graviola
supplements are easily available to promote optimal health and can be taken as general health
tonic. But still further detailed researchers are needed to be conducted on graviola to prove that
graviola is an ultimate cancer cure.
