Description
Katarzyna Owczarek and co-authors test whether extracts from aronia leaves can stop colon cancer cells from spreading. The berries of this plant are known for health-linked compounds, but its leaves are little studied. Their 2024 lab study treats two colon cancer cell lines with a crude extract and a purified, phenol-rich one.
Both extracts nearly halted movement and invasion in one cell line at a modest dose, with a weaker effect on the second line. The block grew with dose. Two enzymes that cancers use to cut through tissue fell in both amount and activity after treatment. The authors offer the results as groundwork for deeper lab and animal studies of aronia leaves.
