Cytotoxic cycloartane triterpene and rare isomeric bisclerodane diterpenes from the leaves of Polyalthia longifolia var. pendula

Synergistic anticancer effect of the extracts from Polyalthia evecta caused apoptosis in human hepatoma (HepG2) cells

“…The extracts of Polyalthia longifolia is reported to have a cytotoxic effect on cancer cell lines while the extract of Polyalthia jucunda was found to have a growth inhibitory effect on tumor cell lines, possibly via apoptosis induction in NCI-H460 cells [7][8][9] . Our study has previously reported the potential anticancer effect of the extract of the P. evectic with selective cytotoxic activity in HepG2 cells compared to the Vero cells [10] .…”
