it has been reported that several conifers possess cytotoxic activities on some human tumor cell lines. taxol as a natural cytotoxic compound has been extracted from this family. in a program to screen the cytotoxic effects of natural resources, male and female branchlets, fruit or bark of two different species of iranian conifers were collected, identified and the cytotoxic effects of their hy...

Cupressus lusitanica Mill. (Family: Cupressaceae), commonly known as &Mexican cypress' or &Cedar-of-Goa', is an ornamental plant found extensively in Mexico, El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras, and also in other parts of North and South America (USDA-ARS-GRIN database, 1999). Plant material was collected from Costa Rica and supplied by Biotics Limited, University of Sussex, Brighton, UK. A vou...

A crude ethanolic extract of Cupressus lusitanica Mill. leaves demonstrate cytotoxicity in a panel of cancer cell lines. Cell death was due to apoptosis, as assessed by morphologic features (chromatin condensation and apoptotic bodies formation) and specific DNA fragmentation detected by in situ end-labeling of DNA breaks (TUNEL). The apoptotic cell death was induced timely in a dose-dependent ...

Isolation and identification of some potent anti-tumor compounds from medicinal plants, has motivated researchers to screen different parts of plant species for anti-tumor effects. It has been reported that several conifer posses cytotoxic activities on some human tumor cell lines. In this study, male and female branchlets or fruit of four different species of Iranian conifers (Juniperus Sabina...

Hesperocyparis (Cupressus) goveniana and putative Cupressus goveniana subsp. gibsonensis plus H. pygmaea were analyzed by Inter-Simple Sequence Repeats (ISSRs). The ISSRs analyses support the continued recognition H. pygmaea and H. goveniana, but the recognition of Cupressus goveniana subsp. gibsonensis Silba was not supported. Phytologia 91(2):277-286 (August, 2009).
