The effects of two nor-diterpenes, trans-dehydrocrotonin (DCTN) and trans-crotonin (CTN) from Croton cajucara (Euphorbiaceae), on the survival of mice bearing Sarcoma 180 and Ehrlich carcinoma ascitic tumours, on the proliferation of cultured Ehrlich cells and TNF alpha activity were determined.

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to evaluate the cytotoxic and anticancer activities of extracts from 7-species of endemic and native plants from Puerto Rico. METHODS The plant species selected for this study were Canella winterana, Croton discolor, Goetzea elegans, Guaiacum officinale,

Human populations are increasingly exposed to various carcinogens such as chemicals, radiation, and viruses in the environment. Chemopreventive drugs of plant origin are a promising strategy for cancer control because they are generally nontoxic or less toxic than synthetic che-mopreventive agents,

This paper describes the isolation of isoguanosine from Croton tiglium L. and its cytotoxic effect against several tumor cell lines in culture and newly reports that isoguanosine has an antitumor activity against implanted S-180 ascitic tumor mice. Isoguanosine is effective at the dose of 24

BACKGROUND Croton celtidifolius Baill (Euphorbiaceae) is a tree found in the Atlantic Forest in Southern Brazil, where it is commonly known as "Sangue-de-Dragão". Its red latex is used traditionally for treating ulcers, diabetes and cancer. OBJECTIVE To evaluate antitumor activities of Croton

Croton regelianus Muell. Arg., popularly known as 'velame-de-cheiro', is a native plant from the Northeast of Brazil used in folk medicine to treat diseases of different kinds, including malignant tumors. In this study, the in vitro and in vivo antitumor effects of the essential oil from the leaves

Croton matourensis Aubl. (synonym Croton lanjouwensis Jabl.), popularly known as "orelha de burro", "maravuvuia", and/or "sangrad'água", is a medicinal plant used in Brazilian folk medicine as a depurative and in the treatment of infections, fractures, and colds. In this work, we investigated the

Sangre de Drago is a red viscous latex extracted from Croton lechleri (Euphorbiaceae) cortex, renowned in South American popular medicine for its wound-healing properties. The in vitro antiproliferative effects were determined on the human myelogenous leukemia K562 cells line (IC50 = 2.5 +/- 0.3

ETHNOPHARMAGOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: Medicinal plants are an important source of antitumor compounds. This study evaluated the acute toxicity in mice, as well as the cytotoxic and antitumoral effects of methanolic extracts of Croton lechleri leaves (CLE). METHODS The cytotoxicity of CLE on human cancer

Eurya acuminata DC and Croton caudatus Gieseler are two ethno-medicinal plants used by Kuki community of North East India. From these plants, we have characterized fifteen phytochemicals (1-15) by extensive use of chromatographic and spectroscopic methods. They were also tested

The leaf essential oil of Croton flavens L., a native plant from the Caribbean area used in traditional medicine, was extracted by hydrodistillation. The composition of the volatile fraction of this essential oil was determined by GC and GC-MS analyses. We have identified 47 compounds, of which

OBJECTIVE We previously showed that extracts from Phoradendron serotinum and Croton lechleri exerted in vitro cytotoxic and in vivo antitumor effects and that their main component was rutin (RTN; 3-rhamnosyl-glucosylquercetin). However, it is unknown whether RTN exerts in vivo antitumoral effects on

Context Considering the role of cellular oxidative stress in mutations and subsequent transformation, phytochemicals with antioxidant potential has become a primary choice as chemopreventives. Apodytes dimidiata E. Mey. Ex. Arn (Icacinaceae), a widely used plant in Zulu traditional medicine, is

Three in-vitro assays have been adopted to examine the cytotoxicity and anti-bacterial activity of the blood-red sap of Croton lechleri from Ecuador, and to examine its effect upon the proliferation of endothelial cells. The sap was found not to be cytotoxic. Several simple phenolic compounds and
