摘要
A total of 39 ethanol extracts of Jordanian plants were examined for cytotoxicity and mutagenicity. Among the tested plants, 8 extracts were active in the brine shrimp cytotoxicity bioassay with LC(50) values in the range of 2.5-870 mu g/ml. These positive extracts were further rested for their antirumor activity on human tumor cell lines in culture. Eminium spiculatum showed activity against a lung carcinoma line (A-549) with art ED(50) of 0.0793 mu g/ml. Regarding mutagenic effect, 16 of the extracts were active on Salmonella typhim-urium strains TA98 or TA102, and the extract of Podonosma oriantalis showed mutagenic activity in both strains.
