cytotoxicity evaluation of daphne mucronata (thymelaeaceae) extract and one of its active purified components, using seven different cancerous cell lines, revealed the strong antiproliferative activity of the plant. using flow cytometry technique, it was found that treatment of the most responsive cells (k562) with the plant extract or the active component inhibited the progression of cells thr...

in our search for new anticancer medicinal plants, the antiproliferative activity of the methanol extract of daphne mucronata (thymelaeaceae) was evaluated using human myelogenous leukemia k562 cells. the cells responded to plant treatments in a dose dependent manner and the ic50 of the crude extract (equivalent to 1 g of plant leaves powder per ml) and the purified active component were found ...
