ABSTRACT:
The fruit tree known as soursop, or Annona muricata, belongs to the Annonaceae family and has been used traditionally for a very long time. Native American communities in South and Africa use this plant extensively for traditional medicine. The exterior of the fruit adds to its exotic appeal with its green, leathery skin and unique curved spines. Hailed for its potential to support cancer treatment and boost immunity, soursop fruit is a rich source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Soursop extracts made from various plant parts have been found to contain over 212 phytochemical components. Different classes of annonaceous acetogenins, metabolites and products of the polyketide pathway, alkaloids, flavonoids, sterols, and other bioactive constituents are specifically responsible for the major anticancer, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and other health benefits of soursop. It has been demonstrated that (Soursop) Annona muricata and other plants contain interesting compounds that may be used to treat cancer. This exotic fruit is a hidden gem of the tropical region, offering numerous uses and advantages.
