Santol
Sandoricum koetjape
Sandoricum koetjape, commonly known as rambutan or cattilu, is a tropical fruit tree native to Southeast Asia. While its traditional medicinal uses are not well-documented in historical records, it has shown promise in scientific research. In vitro and in vivo studies have indicated that KKA (a specific variety of Sandoricum koetjape) may exhibit anti-colon cancer activity by regulating various proteins and pathways. Additionally, a study identified two new compounds from the leaves of this plant that showed potential α-glucosidase inhibitory activity, which could be relevant for managing blood sugar levels. Another study analyzed 7745 transcripts from Kecapi seedlings treated with different LED spectra, contributing to understanding its growth dynamics but not directly related to medicinal use. The safety profile of Sandoricum koetjape appears favorable as no major issues have been recorded in the literature. Similarly, there are currently no reported drug interactions associated with this plant.
