The crude extract and fractions from the branches of Ixora brevifolia, a tree found in the Brazilian Cerrado, were tested for anti-inflammatory and in vitro antiproliferative effects. The crude extract and n-hexane fraction exhibited significant inhibition of ear oedema in mice, while
The antitumour agent from Ixora javanica flowers shows broad activity against transplantable solid tumours (DLA) in mice by inhibiting the growth of tumour and arresting the growth of already formed tumours; with lesser activity against Ascites tumours. In vitro cytotoxic studies showed 50%
The antitumour activity of Ixora coccinea L. (Rubiaceae) flowers was studied in comparison to intraperitoneally transplanted Dalton's lymphoma (ascitic and solid tumours) and Ehrlich ascites carcinoma (EAC) tumours in mice. Intraperitoneal administration of 200 mg/kg of the active fraction (AF) of
