MMP9 and breast carcinoma: Erukainure et al. (2014) isolated an iridoid glycoside from the leaves and reported its antioxidant activity in rats’ brain and hepatic tissues. In our previous study, we extracted dietary fatty acids from the leaves and investigated its effect on breast cancer cells (Erukainure et al., 2016). The fatty acids arrested cell cycle progression and down-regulated matrix metalloproteinase-9 in the breast cancer cells (Erukainure et al., 2016). Furthermore, molecular studies are required to prove the proclaimed medicinal uses of the extract of C. volubile leaves.
