Overview
Mullaca, an herbaceous annual shrub, is used as a treatment for hepatitis B,
bacterial infections, cancer (leukemia), mycoplasma and mycobacteria infections. Also
used for dermatitis, psoriasis, skin infections and viral infections.It is a popular medicine used in Brazil due to the anti-inflammatory effects; it exerts powerful anti-inflammatory and immuno-modulatory activities. Constituents Flavonoids, alkaloids, plant steroids, withanolides, physagulins E, physalin F, D and G. Pharmacology Mullaca's steroids show powerful immune-system support. Cancer studies indicate it is capable of killing several different types of malignant cells in vitro. In one study Mullaca exhibited strong cytotoxicity against cancerous kidney cells. The plant extract was also shown to reduce the size of cancerous tumors in mice with lymphocytic leukemia. A new flavonol glycoside, myricetin 3-O-neohesperidoside, isolated from leaves extract, showed remarkable cytotoxicity in vitro against murine leukemia cell line P-388, epidermoid carcinoma of the nasopharynx KB-16 cells, and lung adenocarcinoma.
