Compound in Shrub root inhibits cancer protein

article image placeholder"Undruggable" cancer protein targeted by compound from shrub root
Jatropa curcas is a plant that is found natively in the Americas and its root has been found to have something called curculs, which naturally inhibit a particular protein in cancer cells called brat one. This protein has previously been impossible to inhibit using any known medicines and compounds and is responsible for causing cancer cells to spread rapidly in the body by helping them repair their damaged DNA quickly. So inhibiting this particular protein in the cancer cells will stop the rapid cell division and spread of these types of cells
