Cytotoxic Properties of Damiana (<i>Turnera diffusa</i>) Extracts and Constituents and A Validated Quantitative UHPLC-DAD Assay

In our continuing search for new cytotoxic agents, we assayed extracts, fractions, and pure compounds from damiana (<i>Turnera diffusa</i>) against multiple myeloma (NCI-H929, U266, and MM1S) cell lines. After a first liquid-liquid solvent extraction, the ethyl acetate layer of an aceton...
