Madras carpet

Grangea maderaspatana

Grangea maderaspatana is a plant traditionally not associated with any known medicinal use. Scientific studies have shown that (-) Frullanolide from this plant exhibits aromatase inhibitor activity similar to reference medications used in breast cancer treatment, suggesting potential therapeutic applications. Additionally, 7-α-Hydroxyfrullanolide has demonstrated anti-cancer effects in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells through mechanisms involving G2/M-phase arrest and apoptosis. While the plant is found among local medicinal species near the Guangxi Fangcheng Golden Camellias national nature reserve, further research is warranted to fully understand its potential uses. No significant safety issues or known drug interactions have been recorded for Grangea maderaspatana.
