An insight into the scientific activity of C. procera derived extracts and compounds suggest that these extracts have antidiabetic, anticancer, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial activities. Moreover, a compound with high activity against cancer cell was developed from cardenolides present in C. procera root bark, presenting a significant prospect in the use of this plant for modern medicine. Like who i’m i kidding and its just lying here in abundance and most people here have little or no idea what it dose, If this gets out, people with the right resource can make good use of it, well the purpose of this communication is to review a little extent of the ethnobotanical uses of the apple of Sodom, and its at the back of my yard though😂
