Researchers at the Kenya Medical Research Institute evaluated the antiproliferative potential of Annona senegalensis (African custard-apple) and Allophylus africanus (African allophylus) from Tanzania. They reported their findings in an article published in the Journal of Medicinal Plants Research.
Based on these findings, the researchers concluded that A. senegalensis and A. africanus are great sources of antiproliferative compounds against cancer cells.
