Overview

Petiveria alliacea extract, specifically the standardized formulations Esperanza (aqueous) and Anamu-SC (alcoholic), is a botanical drug candidate developed by the Pontificia Universidad Javeriana. It functions as a metabolic modulator or 'mitocan' by targeting tumor cell bioenergetics. The extract inhibits glycolytic flux and oxidative phosphorylation, leading to ATP depletion and increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, which selectively induces apoptosis in cancer cells while sparing normal cells. It also exhibits immunomodulatory properties by regulating cytokine production, including the induction of IL-10 and IFN-gamma. The extract is currently being evaluated in Phase I/II clinical trials for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, and metastatic gastrointestinal tumors, often in combination with standard chemotherapy.
