The fruit of the greater burdock plant (Arctium lappa), referred to as niu bang zi or Arctii Fructus (AF) in traditional Chinese medicine, has been shown to prevent the spread of colorectal cancer cells, according to a study in The American Journal of Chinese Medicine. In their research, a team from Wonkwang University in South Korea investigated the pharmacological effects of AF in vitro.
The researchers concluded that AF can be used to inhibit the proliferation and metastasis of colorectal cancer cells.
