Scientists have discovered a natural compound that can halt a key process involved in the progression of certain cancers and demyelinating diseases—conditions that damage the protective myelin sheath surrounding neurons, such as multiple sclerosis (MS).

A study published in the Journal of Biological Chemistry identified a plant-derived flavonoid called sulfuretin as an inhibitor of an enzyme linked to both MS and cancer. The research, conducted in cell models at Oregon Health & Science University, demonstrated that sulfuretin effectively blocked the enzyme’s activity. The next phase of research will involve testing the compound in animal models to evaluate its therapeutic potential, effectiveness, and possible side effects in treating cancer and neurodegenerative diseases like MS.

Similar to DMSO??  AI says Sulfuretin is a phytochemical that has been shown to suppress adipocyte differentiation and prevent obesity in mice fed a high-fat diet. DMSO, on the other hand, is a solvent used in various applications. While sulfuretin has biological effects, DMSO is primarily a chemical compound. Over my pay grade……..
