Nimbolide is a compound found in the neem tree (Azadirachta indica) and has been studied for its potential anti-cancer properties. It is a type of limonoid, a class of compounds that are commonly found in citrus fruits and other plants.
Research has shown that nimbolide has anti-proliferative and pro-apoptotic effects on various types of cancer cells, including breast, lung, colon, and prostate cancer cells. It has also been shown to inhibit the growth of cancer cells by inducing cell cycle arrest and apoptosis (programmed cell death).
Some of the ways in which nimbolide may help to prevent or treat cancer include:
-Inhibiting the activity of certain enzymes that are involved in cancer cell growth and survival
-Inducing the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that can damage cancer cells
-Inhibiting the formation of new blood vessels that are needed to support the growth of cancer cells
-Enhancing the effectiveness of chemotherapy and radiation therapy
