Taxus baccata Linn., a tree which grows abundantly in India, has been reported to possess an antifertility effect (Kirtikar & Basu, 1935; Chopra, Nayar & Chopra, 1956; Chopra, Chopra, Handa & Kapoor, 1958; Chaudhury, 1966). Khanna, Garg, Vohora, Walia & Chaudhury (1969) recently reported that anti-implantation activity is present in the leaves. Possible anti-ovulatory activity of different extr...

An embryo culture method overcomes the lengthy dormancy requirement of Taxus L. spp. (yew) seeds. When zygotic embryos excised from mature T. brevifolia L. seeds were cultured in darkness for 4 weeks on one of three basal salt media (B5, Litvay, and Murashige and Skoog), radicle emergence and seedling development was highest on B5 basal salt medium. After 1 to 2 weeks on B5 basal salt medium, s...

Three lignan derivatives, (-)-taxiresinol (1), (-)-3'-demethylisolariciresinol-9'-hydroxyisopropylether (2) and (-)-3-demethylisolariciresinol (3), previously isolated from the heart-wood of Taxus baccata L. (Taxaceae) were investigated for cytotoxicity against the Oncology Cell Line Panel (breast, colon, ovary, prostate, lung and a normal adult bovine aortic endothelial cell line) as well as f...
