OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the effect of janaguba in inhibiting the development of lung cancer in an experimental urethane-induced model.
METHODS
a total of 3mg/kg urethane was injected in 51 Balb-C mice aged 7-13 weeks of life. Janaguba was administered orally daily in two doses: 0.04 mL (Group 2, G2)
BACKGROUND
Himatanthus articulatus (Vahl) Woodson (Apocynaceae) is a tree occurring in the Amazon region. The local population uses its bark against to external tumors and cancer.
OBJECTIVE
Evaluated the antiproliferative activity of the crude extract and their fractions against human tumors
Himatanthus sucuuba (HsL) latex exhibited a potent leishmanicidal activity against intracellular amastigotes of Leishmania amazonensis, a causative agent of cutaneous leishmaniasis. HsL inhibited intracellular amastigote growth in a dose-dependent manner (IC(50)=15.7microg/mL). Moreover, HsL
BACKGROUND
