Antimutagenic constituents from Monanthotaxis caffra (Sond.) Verdc. University of Antwerp
Objectives Monanthotaxis caffra (Sond.) Verdc. (Annonaceae) has been reported to possess antitumoural properties. Preliminary screening showed that the crude methanolic leaf extract had strong antimutagenic effects against aflatoxin B1‐induced mutagenicity. The aim of this study was to isolate and evaluate the antimutagenic properties of the active constituents from M. caffra. Methods Different chromatographic, spectroscopic and spectrometric ...
