Potential Biological Properties (Based on Traditional Knowledge and Modern Observations)

Although research is ongoing, soursop seeds have been studied for:

• Natural insecticidal activity

Their acetogenins interfere with insect metabolism.

• Antimicrobial potential

Some compounds may help inhibit certain microorganisms.

• Antioxidant properties

Plant-based compounds may help reduce oxidative stress in laboratory settings.

• Anti-parasitic activity

Traditional systems valued them for this strength.

It is important to understand that laboratory findings do not automatically translate into safe internal use for humans.
