Mexican researchers evaluated the biological activity of Rhus trilobata (skunkbush sumac or sourberry) against colorectal adenocarcinoma cells, determined its acute toxicity and analyzed its phytochemical composition. Their findings were published in the journal BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine.
Based on these findings, the researchers concluded that R. trilobata is a selective anti-cancer agent that is not toxic to healthy cells.
