According to Cancer Research UK, Annona muricata is an active principle in an unlicensed herbal remedy marketed under the brand name Triamazon. Triamazon is not licensed for medicinal use and the sale of the product resulted in a conviction on four counts of selling unlicensed medical products, and other charges, for a vendor in the United Kingdom.

The story goes this way, . . .
Chapter 1 Why the secrecy?
One of America’s biggest billion-dollar drug makers began a search for a Cancer cure centered on Guyabano (Annona Muricata).
Taking
off from here, this company poured money, resources and invested nearly seven
years trying to synthesize two of the Guyabano tree’s most powerful anti-cancer
ingredients.
They
failed to isolate, produce anti cancer extracts or even replicate the original
guyabano organic agent for cancer cure for commercial purpose.
In short they can not contain it in a capsule for commercial sale, contain the
potent liquid in a bottle for sale or have the potent guyabano’s organic cancer
cure agent undergo any synthetic process for commercial distribution. The
obvious reason is that its potency is lost in the process.
Another factor is that the Guyabano being completely natural, under federal law
becomes non patentable thus will fail as a profit making venture.
Chapter 2 How this secret became known.
The
company shelved the entire project and chose not to publish the findings of its
research. Its exposure would commercially compete with their other cancer
curing products such as those used for chemotherapy among others.
Luckily,
there was one scientist from the research team whose conscience wouldn’t let
him see such atrocity committed. When researchers at the Health Sciences
Institute were alerted to the news of Guyabano, they began tracking the
research done on the cancer-killing tree.
The
National Cancer Institute performed the first scientific research in 1976. The results
showed that Guyabano’s leaves and stems were found effective in attacking and
destroying malignant cells. Inexplicably, the results were published in an
internal report and never released to the public.
A
study published in the Journal of Natural Products, following a recent study
conducted at Catholic University of South Korea stated that one chemical in
Guyabano (Annona Muricata) was found to selectively kill colon cancer cells at
“10,000 times the potency of (the commonly used chemotherapy drug) Adriamycin.
The
most significant part of the Catholic University of South Korea report is that
Guyabano (Annona Muricata) was shown to selectively target the cancer cells,
leaving healthy cells untouched.
A
study at Purdue University recently found that leaves from the Guyabano tree
killed cancer cells among six human cell lines and were especially effective
against prostate, pancreatic and lung cancers.
Chapter 3 Toxicity and Medicinal
Uses
Toxicity
The presence of the alkaloids
anonaine and anoniine has been reported in this species. The alkaloids muricine,
C19H21O4N (possibly des-N-methylisocorydine or des-N methylcorydine) and
muricinine, C18H19O4 (possibly des-N-methylcorytuberine), are found in the
bark. Muricinine is believed to be identical to reticuline. An unnamed alkaloid
occurs in the leaves and seeds. The bark is high in hydrocyanic acid. Only
small amounts are found in the leaves and roots and a trace in the fruit. The
seeds contain 45% of a yellow non-drying oil which is an irritant poison,
causing severe eye inflarnmation.
Medicinal
Uses: The juice of the ripe fruit is
said to be diuretic and a remedy for haematuria and urethritis. Taken when
fasting, it is believed to relieve liver ailments and leprosy. Pulverized
immature fruits, which are very astringent, are decocted as a dysentery remedy.
To draw out chiggers and speed healing, the flesh of an acid soursop is applied
as a poultice unchanged for 3 days.
In
Materia Medica of British Guiana, we
are told to break soursop leaves in water, "squeeze a couple of limes
therein, get a drunken man and rub his head well with the leaves and water and
give him a little of the water to drink and he gets as sober as a judge in no
time." This sobering or tranquilizing formula may not have been widely
tested, but soursop leaves are regarded throughout the West Indies as having sedative or soporific properties. In the Netherlands Antilles , the leaves are put into one's pillowslip or strewn
on the bed to promote a good night's sleep. An infusion of the leaves is
commonly taken internally for the same purpose. It is taken as an analgesic and
antispasmodic in Esmeraldas Province, Ecuador. In Africa , it is given to children with fever and they are also bathed lightly
with it. A decoction of the young shoots or leaves is regarded in the West Indies as a remedy for gall bladder trouble, as well as
coughs, catarrh, diarrhea, dysentery and indigestion; is said to "cool the
blood," and to be able to stop vomiting and aid delivery in childbirth.
The decoction is also employed in wet compresses on inflammations and swollen
feet. The chewed leaves, mixed with saliva, are applied to incisions after
surgery, causing proudflesh to disappear without leaving a scar. Mashed leaves
are used as a poultice to alleviate eczema and other skin afflictions and
rheumatism, and the sap of young leaves is put on skin eruptions. The roots of
the tree are employed as a vermifuge and the root bark as an antidote for
poisoning. A tincture of the powdered seeds and bay rum is a strong emetic.
Soursop flowers are believed to alleviate catarrh.
Chapter 4 Other Uses
Fruit:
In the Virgin Islands , the fruit is placed as a bait in fish traps. Seeds:
When pulverized, the seeds are effective pesticides against head lice, southern
army worms and pea aphids and petroleum ether and chloroform extracts are toxic
to black carpet beetle larvae. The seed oil kills head lice. Leaves: The
leaf decoction is lethal to head lice and bedbugs. Bark: The bark of the
tree has been used in tanning. The bark fiber is strong but, since fruiting
trees are not expendable, is resorted to only in necessity. Bark, as well as
seeds and roots, has been used as fish poison. Wood: The wood is pale,
aromatic, soft, light in weight and not durable. It has been used for ox yokes
because it does not cause hair loss on the neck. In Colombia Brazil
The
Soursop ( Annona
muricata) is native to Central America, the Caribbean,. northern South America, Colombia, Brazil, Mexico, Peru, Venezuela, sub-Saharan
African countries that lie within the tropics and grown in some areas of Southeast Asia most
likely brought from Mexico to the Philippines by way of the Manila-Acapulco
galleon trade. It is in the same genus as the chirimoya and the same family
as the pawpaw.

GUYABANO NECTAR
- Wash and peel guayabano. Remove core and seeds. Cut into small pieces. Mix two cups water for every three cups of pulp.
- Pass guayabano pulp through a juice extractor or a corn mill grinder. Add little by little so juice can be fully extracted.
- Strain through a stainless steel strainer. Measure extracted pulp juice and add one cup of water for every two cups juice. Add one cup sugar for every 3″ cups of pulp mixture.
- Pass sugared mixture through a juice mixer or beat with a rotary egg beater. Place the mixture in an enamel casserole or a stainless steel kettle, and cook until it simmers. Do not let it boil. Lower the heat and stir from time to time until mixture become thick.
- Pour cooked mixture into tall tin cans while still hot, leaving 1/4 inch space on top of the mixture.
- Seal the cans and place them in a pressure cooker for 15 minutes at 10 pounds pressure.
- Cool and label. http://www.mixph.com/2006/11/processing-of-guyabano-soursop.html
