In vitro anti-proliferative activity of alcoholic stem extract of coscinium fenestratum in human colorectal cancer cells
Coscinium fenestratum (Gaertn.) Colebr. is traditionally used for the treatment of cancer, arthritis and diabetes mellitus. the purpose of this study was to determine the molecular mechanisms by which this plant shows benefcial effects. an 80% ethanolic extract of C. fenestratum (80et) was separated...
