[STUDY OF CYTOTOXIC ACTIVITY OF METHANOL EXTRACTS OF THE ENDEMIC PLANT OF THE GENUS ERYSIMUM OF THE ADJARIAN FLORISTIC DISTRICT OF GEORGIA].

According to the results, investigated methanolic extracts of endemic plant from Adjarian floristic region of Georgia do not have specific cytotoxicity against the cell lines of breast adenocarcinoma MCF-7 human, which is typical, e.g., for plant pigment curcumin. At the same time, the high specific cytotoxicity of 2 and 3 fractions towards keratinocytes gives reason for considering endemic plant extracts, of Adjarian floristic region of Georgia, as a potential pharmacological means for topical treatment of pathologies caused by increased proliferation of keratinocytes, such as psoriasis.
