Abstract:
Screening of water, MeOH, ether extracts from all parts of some Crinum species has been conducted using the Brine shrimp microwell cytotoxicity assay. The water, MeOH extracts from the root, bulbs of all studied Crinum species and the water, MeOH extracts from the leaves of C. latifolium analyzed showed toxicity to the brine shrimp (LC50<1000 m/ml). the most promising extracts (LC50 < 300 m/ml) were the total alcaloid extracts from all parts of Crinum species.
