ABSTRACT
An in vivo antitumor screening of extracts of Gomphrena martiana indicated positive activity in the petroleum ether extract, and its further bioactivity-directed fractionation resulted in a lipophilic flavonoid fraction. Upon inoculation of various doses of 5,6,7-trisubstituted flavones on two murine tumor lines, Sarcoma 180 and Ehrlich's carcinoma, a decrease of tumor growth was observed. An in vitro KB cultured cell screen indicated cytotoxicity.
