Ajmaline (Ajmaline: Anticancer Drug)

Ajmaline is a naturally occurring compound extracted from the roots of the Rauvolfia serpentina plant. Traditionally used in medicine to treat heart conditions, recent research has explored its potential as an anticancer drug. Ajmaline works by affecting cellular processes that can lead to cancer cell death, making it a subject of interest in cancer treatment studies. While still largely in the experimental phase, its ability to target cancer cells could make it a valuable addition to cancer therapies, highlighting the importance of plant-derived compounds in modern medicine.
