A simple method has been developed to produce glaziovianin A from parsley and dill seeds that is known to have anticancer properties.
Scientists Find Method to Make Complex Anticancer Compound
At The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI), scientists have achieved the first efficient chemical synthesis of ingenol, a highly complex, plant-derived compound that has long been of interest

‘Glaziovianin A, a natural compound extracted from parsley and dill seeds can inhibit the growth of human tumor cells.’
The new method is cheaper than the existing ones because it involves cheap widespread materials and also reduces the number of steps in its synthesis and the list of catalysts involved. In addition, the team synthesized a number of structural analogs of glaziovianin A in order to find new antimitotics. The use of sea urchin embryos was another innovation offered by the team of scientists.
The cells of these sea creature embryos divide rapidly into the early stages of development, simulating the way a tumor grows. When the antimitotics were added to the sea urchins' substratum, they started to rotate, making it easy for the researchers to evaluate the effect of new drugs and their side effects.
Anticancer Drug Restores Hearing in People With Neurofibromatosis
One in 25,000 people is born with neurofibromatosis type 2, a hereditary tumor syndrome in which virtually everyone progresses to deafness because of vestibular schwannomas.
