Plants that have been used to develop these drugs are black beans, agave and corn, three plants native to Mexico, where inhibitory properties were discovered in the development of cancer cells.

The investigation is carried out by the Center of Biotechnology, Technological Institute of Monterrey, and even though the drugs are not for sale, is in process to get it.

The permit authorization to market these drugs are expected to arrive later this year or early next.

Apparently the usefulness of these drugs would be related to colon cancer, breast, prostate and liver, but also could be used in people with diabetes or cholesterol.

Aapro, Director of the Multidisciplinary Oncology Institute in Genolier, Switzerland, presented data from an epidemiological study entitled Comparison of aprepitant combination regimen with 4-day ondansetron + 4-day dexamethasone for prevention of acute and delayed nausea / vomiting after cisplatin chemotherapy. The study results showed that treatment with aprepitant (Emend) is superior to the scheme of several days with ondansetron and dexamethasone to prevent nausea and vomiting induced by highly emetogenic chemotherapy (nausea and frequent vomiting).
