Oldenlandia corymbosa – a common plant valuable in the fight against cancer
A team of scientists from the NTU School of Biological Sciences (SBS), led by Associate Professor Marek Mutwil, have shown that ursolic acid present in extracts from O. corymbosa is active against breast cancer cells. In a paper published in the Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, the team also succeeded in assembling a high-quality genome of O. corymbosa, and uncovered two genes involved in the biosynthesis of ursolic acid – thus paving the way for developing this valuable compound.
