Study Reports Natural Compound Shows Anticancer Activity in Preclinical Models

University of Windsor (Canada), October 15 2026 (Natural News)

A study published in Oncotarget reports that an aqueous dandelion root extract inhibited colorectal cancer cell proliferation and survival in laboratory and animal models, according to the paper. The research describes a preclinical investigation of a compound derived from a common flowering plant long used in traditional medicine.

The study states the extract was derived from the root of the dandelion plant. The paper reports the extract was tested in several cancer cell models with no toxicity to non-cancerous cells.

The study found that the aqueous dandelion root extract triggered programmed cell death in more than 95% of colorectal cancer cells tested in the laboratory.

The paper reports the extract activated multiple death-signaling pathways. The researchers reported no toxicity to non-malignant cells at the doses tested.
