Abstract:Cancer can usually develop due to exposure to sunlight. UV radiation from sunlight is known to damage DNA and is bad for the skin. Skin P stem cell carcinogenesis is caused by UV-A rays that penetrate deep into the dermis layer. UV-B damages cell DNA by being absorbed by proteins in the epidermis. Chromolaena odorata was extracted using methanol solvent, then partitioned into 5 solutions in the form of n-Hexane, Ethyl Acetate, Acetonitrate, n-Buthanol, and Ethanol. The five extracts obtained were tested with H… Show more
