A team of researchers from the University of Delaware has created an innovative method for synthesizing a molecule with anticancer properties, extracted from guava, which could facilitate the production of more accessible drugs against liver cancer.

This discovery could improve treatments for liver cancer, an aggressive form of cancer with low survival rates. The study published in Angewandte Chemie paves the way for more effective and accessible therapies, and the team is collaborating with the National Cancer Institute to evaluate the efficacy of the molecule in other types of cancer.
