Mitraphylline Production in Plants: Enzymes Revealed
Scientists unlock how plants create cancer-fighting mitraphylline In a breakthrough that could transform how powerful natural products are sourced, researchers at the University of British Columbia (UBC) Okanagan have mapped the enzymes that make mitraphylline, a rare spirooxindole alkaloid with potential anti-cancer properties. The discovery builds on a landmark finding from 2023 and opens the…
