| Summary: | <p>The seconday metabolites from traditional medicine plants have played an important role in<br />cancer treatment. Exploration of natural active compounds from medicinal plants for cancer<br />treatment has attracted substantial attention worldwide. Several secondary metabolites that<br />were isolated fom the plants, such as vincristne, vinblastine, campthothecins, have been used<br />have been used clinically for over 40 years. Numerous techniques have been developed<br />to obtain compounds for drug discovery including isolation from plants, synthetic chemistry,<br />screening bioassays. As part of efforts to discover phytochemicals as anticancer agent, our<br />group were isolated several compunds mainly from Annonaceae and Melliaceae family that<br />showed active againts human leukemia HL-60 cells.<br /><br /></p> |
