Dr. Jerry McLaughlin begins to tell the story of his life's work at Purdue University's School of Pharmacy. He led a team of researchers over a twenty-eight year period screening 3500 plant species to find drugs for cancer. The US native paw paw tree yielded interesting molecules called acetogenins that were active against many kinds of tumor cells. In 2007 the American Society of Pharmacognosy awarded Dr. McLaughlin the Tyler Prize for his research.

  • There are no published studies with people since Dr. McLaughlin did this talk to my knowledge. There are many continuing studies being published about how the active molecules, the annonaceous acetogenins, work. Also I see studies on synthesis of this type of molecule and the discovery in other plants of molecules with similar actions. Dr. McLaughlin told me one time that Harvard was willing to do a study on 10 people and wanted $300,000 for the work. Guess we don't have a piggy bank big enough.

  • has anyone here tried it or know someone who had tried it for late stage cancer? Can someone point me to any recent studies/credible anecdotes other than the primary pawpawresearch site?

  • thank god i watched whole thing

    would never think the bark is more important than fruit

    and such difference in values in one tree to next

  • I just planted 3 of these trees. Two "Mangos" and one "sunflower." I'll definitely be harvesting the seeds and bark. Thank you for your contributions to science.

  • AWESOME.
