Pharmacological Actions

Papaya & Platelet Count

Flavonoids and phenols in papaya leaf extract have beneficial properties for platelets. Shown to bring about a rapid increase in platelet count via membrane-stabilizing properties. The extract increases ALOX12 (arachidonate 12-lipoxygenase / platelet type lipoxygenase) by 15 times — an enzyme that promotes platelet production through increased number and differentiation of megakaryocytes in bone marrow.

Clinical trials show papaya leaf extract is effective in treating thrombocytopenia caused by dengue hemorrhagic fever, liver cirrhosis, neonatal thrombocytopenia, and drugs such as chemotherapeutics, immunosuppressants and anti-platelets. Helps alleviate symptoms including nose and gum bleeding, petechiae, purpura and ecchymosis.

Papaya & Tumour

Papaya leaf extract mediates a Th1-type shift in the human immune system, providing treatment and prevention of tumours and allergic disorders. Scientific investigations show papaya extract inhibits the proliferative response of solid tumour cell lines and haemopoietic cell lines.
