Parsley and dill can be helpful in preventing the development of cancer, as they contain compounds with anti-cancer properties.
Experts explain that when the molecules of the two garden spices are combined, they turn into the compound glaciovianin A , known for its anticancer properties.
Consumption of parsley and dill offers a wealth of health benefits, including preventing bad breath, boosting immunity, improving vision and relieving hair loss .
Dill has valuable properties associated with preventing the development of diseases caused by free radicals. It also strengthens bones .
Their cancer- fighting properties were discovered after a compound was studied by Russian researchers. It is found in both spices .
The same substance is currently extracted from the leaves of the Brazilian tree and is considered antifungal. This means that it inhibits the growth of tumors by disrupting the process of cell division .
Prof. Alexander Kiselov of the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology says the fight against cancer includes two main components - both improving existing therapies and looking for new approaches.
He added that his research team had developed an easy way to produce glaciovianin A and its structural analogues, which have the ability to inhibit the growth of cancer cells . For the purpose of used natural compounds. This can lead to the development of new drugs .
Currently, the main treatment for cancer is chemotherapy . It is a complex procedure that works by suppressing the growth of cancer cells, disrupting the process of division.
The study data is published in the Journal of Natural Products .
