概要
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the toxicity of methanol extract of various parts (Root, Stem, Leaf, Flower and Fruit) of Lantana camara (L. Camara) in Artemia salina.
METHODS
The methanol extracts of L. camara were tested for in vivo brine shrimp lethality assay.
RESULTS
All the tested extract exhibited very low toxicity on brine shrimp larva. The results showed that the root extract was the most toxic part of L. camara and may have potential as anticancer agent.
CONCLUSIONS
Methanolic extract of L. camara is relatively safe on short-term exposure.
