Phyllanthus niruri
Phyllanthin and hypophyllanthin from P. niruri show anti-tumour activity against liver, cervical, and leukemia cell lines. It is one of the most effective natural antivirals against Hepatitis B — relevant since hepatitis B is a major risk factor for hepatocellular carcinoma. Also protects the liver from chemotherapy-induced toxicity.
