rosmarinus officinalis l., a medicinal herb from the labiates family, has been reported to be of potential benefit in the treatment and prevention of several diseases. in particular its phenolics have demonstrated protective effects on various types of cancer through several mechanisms. the present study aimed to determine the effects of rosemary phenolic extracts on human cell functions, with ...

objective(s) as an important class of natural products, coumarins exhibit many biological activities and the diversity of their bioactivity is so huge that the pharmacological promiscuity has been applied on their case. oxypeucedanine also named as prangolarin is a linear furanocoumarin with an oxygenated prenylated substitution at c-5 of the nucleus. to our knowledge, there are few reports on ...

phenolic compounds including flavonoids and phenolic acids are plants secondary metabolites. due to their ability to act as antioxidant agents, there is a growing interest to use those components in traditional medicine for cancer prevention or treatment. the aim of this study was to measure the amounts of total phenolics and flavonoids as well as anti-proliferative effect of aqueous extract of...

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 ...
