Scientists discover plant enzymes that make a rare anti-cancer compound, enabling sustainable production.
Researchers at UBC Okanagan have identified two enzymes that enable plants to produce mitraphylline, a rare compound with potential anti-cancer properties.
The discovery explains how plants create complex spirooxindole alkaloids—molecules previously difficult to replicate due to their intricate, twisted structures and low natural abundance.
This breakthrough could enable sustainable, large-scale production using green chemistry, accelerating the development of new plant-based medicines.
The work, led by Dr. Thu-Thuy Dang and Tuan-Anh Nguyen, involved collaboration with the University of Florida and support from Canadian and U.S. research agencies.
