Mr Nwonuma Obiora of the Department of Biochemistry, Faculty of Life Sciences, University of Ilorin, says Soursop leaf contains some curative anti-malaria substances that can be used to treat ailment.

Obiora, who stated this while defending his PhD thesis on Tuesday in Ilorin, explained that the Soursop leaf extract could cure malaria and that the level of toxin is very minimal.

Soursop is a native of the warm and tropical regions of the Americas, that goes by scientific name Annona muricata.

He explained that “studies have shown that more Africans have died of malaria than COVID-19, adding “we need anti-malaria drugs because this is actually targeted towards drug discovery”.

Obiora maintained that the advantages of his discovery included safe for use, effective, cheap, affordable and cannot be resistant to plasmodium parasites.

He however recommended that further research should be carried out on the plant, using pure compound that he discovered in his findings.

Obiora pointed out that three compounds were actually predicted to be responsible for the anti-malaria effects.

“The compounds can exhibit anti-malaria properties, and this is a breakthrough to the list of anti-malaria drug available in the market,” he said.

Quality research, quality academic supervisors and a brilliant researcher.

I am even more amazed that Unilorin publicized this PhD thesis finding. Not like some universities where they'll be killing PhD students' innovativeness in the name or research project defence.

Abeg try to bring the name down.....

Layman's terms....shawa shop or shawan shop

Effective very very

You can Google it yourself

OK this is great. As long as it is cheap and available to the common man in the streets for those that can't afford Orthodox medicine

This is what we should be developing and supporting,not some walking dead cattle lovers.
