• Description

  Sanguinarine, a DNA intercalator extracted from the bloodroot plant of the poppy family, was used by Native Americans for warts and as a blood purifier. In modern use, although banned by the FDA for its association with epidemic dropsy and other toxic effects, it has shown potential as a treatment for cancer, with modes of action including inhibition of metastasis and angiogenesis, and promotion of apoptosis. It also has anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, and anti-microbial properties, and several applications in veterinary medicine. ;
