Parthenolide as a treatment from Garden Plant

I recently read researchers at the University of Birmingham found Feverfew, a common garden plant also called bachelor buttons contains a compound called parthenolide that kills CLL cells. Does anyone here have additional information on the research being done on this compound?

CLL 13q deleted, W&W 10 Years. No treatment yet.

It is being studied and the success at this point is that it can be distracted from the plant. Sounds to be possibly a treatment for CLL---time will tell as well as a lot of funding and trials.
