Glycosidic activities have been examined in Candida albicans grown on medium culture containing latex sap (natural antifungal) or isoconazole (synthetic antifungal). The different types of utilized latex sap were those of Lactuca sativa (latex exuded from articulated laticifers) and Asclepias
We have assessed the antitumoral action of the POLYAS I and POLYAS II vegetal polyphenolic biopreparations--separated and purified from Asclepias syriaca leaves - in rats with various experimental tumoral lines. We studied the therapeutic effect of different doses on the tumor generation process and
Asclepias curassavica and Lactuca sativa latex saps inhibit the growth of Candida albicans because they degrade a great number of yeasts. This was confirmed by scanning and transmission electron microscopy observations. After a contact of 4 h and 6 h yeasts are deformed and emptied of their

We have investigated the impact of POLYAS I and POLYAS II polyphenolic biopreparations - specifically separated and purified from Asclepias syriaca leaves, and characterized in vitro as cytotoxic and/or cytostatic agents - on the tumor generation process. A series of in vivo tests of their effect on
