What is it about?
Cashew leaves are used in folk medicine due to their therapeutic properties. The hydroethanolic leaf extract cytotoxicity and effects on cell cycle progression and apoptosis induction in acute lymphoblastic leukemia cells were evaluated. Results indicated that AoHE interfered in the cell cycle progression, inducing apoptosis by activation of casp3 at lower concentrations, thence, a promising candidate for the development of new cancer drugs.
