| Abstract: | Cancer is a worldwide problem and is emerging
as a major killer of modern era. Natural products of plant origin and numerous
non-nutritive dietary constituents have been shown to play a significant role in
cancer chemoprevention. Chemo-preventive efficacy of extract of plant,
Aerva lanata (Linn.) Juss. ex
Schult. (Hindi — Kapurjadi)
against transplantable tumours were evaluated by researchers at Department of
Biochemistry, University of Kerala,
Kariavattom, Thiruvananthapuram. The partially TLC-purified fraction (PEF) of
petroleum ether extract was proved to be cytotoxic to Daltan’s lymphoma ascites
(DLA), Ehrlich ascites (EA) and B16F 10 cell lines in vitro |
