Asimina triloba
The largest native fruit in North America, with emerging research on its acetogenins for anticancer activity.
Pawpaw (Asimina triloba) is the largest native fruit in North America, valued both as a nutritious food and for its medicinal properties. Its annonaceous acetogenins, particularly asimicin and bullatacin, have demonstrated potent anticancer and antiparasitic activities in preliminary research. The plant also contains vitamins A and C, contributing to its antioxidant profile.
The annonaceous acetogenins in pawpaw selectively inhibit mitochondrial complex I (NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase), disrupting ATP synthesis and inducing apoptosis in cancer cells. This mechanism also underlies its antiparasitic and insecticidal effects, as these organisms rely heavily on mitochondrial respiration. Additionally, acetogenins may modulate the PI3K/Akt pathway and induce oxidative stress, contributing to their cytotoxic selectivity.
