Brazilian researchers evaluated the cytotoxic potential of Passiflora plants cultivated in Brazil against cancer cells. They also identified the mechanism of cytotoxicity induced by the most promising extract. Their findings were published in the Journal of Medicinal Plants Research.
Based on these findings, the researchers concluded that ELPA can kill cancer cells through the synergistic actions of its flavonoids, which can induce cell death by apoptosis and necrosis.
