Abstract:
Objectives To investigate antimicrobial and cytotoxic potentials as well as chemical constituents of extracts from Macaranga barteri (M. barteri). Methods Antimicrobial activity was carried out using micro-dilution, cell culture and GC–MS methods were employed to determine the cytotoxicity and chemical constituents of the extracts respectively. Results Marked activity was observed in methanol (ME) fraction [MIC
