ABSTRACT
Primary screening of alcohol extracts of fruits of Maclura aurantiaca (Moraceae) and the overground part of Epilobium hirsutum (Onagraceae) was conducted in order to test the anti-tumour action on models in mice. Applied in doses of 100 mg/kg and 90 mg/kg, Maclura extract increased the life span of the mice by 158 and 152% accordingly in leucosis P-388 and ascitic tumour of Ehrich. In doses of 1 mg/kg and 3 mg/kg the Epilobium extract prolonged the life span of the mice by 156 and 158% accordingly in leucosis P-388 and ascitic tumour of Ehrlich.
