    Pau D’Arco

    Pau D'Arco or the Lapacho Tree is a huge canopy tree that is home to the Amazonian rainforest as well as other parts of Latin America. This tree has been utilized in South America for thousands of years to treat nearly every type of illness.




    It is still taken today as an internal elixir in the form of a tea or powder as well as placed on external wounds. Pau D'arco contains several compounds such as lapachol, xyloidone and napthaquinones. These compounds are able to combat harmful organisms within the body.

    Benefits of Pau D’Arco

    Cancer Fighting - Taheebo, extracted from the inner bark of the Tabebuia avellandae tree found in the Brazilian Amazon, exhibits selective anti-proliferative effects in carcinoma cell lines. The anti-proliferative effects of Taheebo correlate with down-regulated cell cycle regulatory and estrogen responsive genes, and up-regulated apoptosis specific and xeno-biotic metabolism specific genes. These data validate a rapid mechanistic approach to prioritize efficacious herbal medicines, thereby complementing the existing endocrine therapy for breast cancer.

    The cytotoxic activity of Nor-β-lapachone against PC3M human prostate cancer cells was demonstrated to be significantly enhanced when delivered by PLGA microcapsules in comparison with the free drug.

    β-lap markedly suppressed the growth and angiogenesis of human lung cancer xenografts in nude mice and decreased the levels of receptor-interacting protein, AKT, CDK4, and CD31 in the solid tumors. Unlike other NQO1-dependent cytotoxic quinones, such as streptonigrin, menadione, mitomycin, and 17-allylamino-17-demethoxygeldanamycin, β-lap was the only agent that could cause Hsp90 cleavage. Taken together, our results suggest a crucial mechanism underlying the antitumor efficacy of β-lap.

    Obesity - Estrogen deficiency-induced obesity has a high risk of visceral fat accumulation and body weight gain.These results suggested that the anti-obesity effect of Taheebo extract is due to its capability in preventing the accumulation of adipocyte in mice. Taheebo extract might be a promising functional food resources capable of protecting against OVX-induced obesity.

    Expression of mRNA and proteins related to lipogenesis were decreased in Taheebo TBE-administered mice compared to mice fed HFD alone. These results suggest that TBE inhibits obesity and fat accumulation by regulation of gene expression related to lipid metabolism in HFD-induced obesity in mice.

    Antioxidant Properties - β-Lapachone (β-LAP) is a naturally occurring quinine that exerts a number of pharmacological actions including antibacterial, antifungal, antimalarial, and antitumor activities. Collectively, the results suggest that β-LAP increases antioxidant enzyme gene expression in astrocytes by modulating NQO1-AMPK/PI3K-Nrf2/ARE signaling.
