CHCl3 extracts of the stem cortex of Annona glabra L killed Artemia salina and inhibited mitosis of root meristem of Allium asca lonicum. Chromatographic fractionation of this extract led to the isolation of Pd1, Pd2, Pd3, Pd4 fractions. The purity of them were controlled by thin layer chromatography. Pd2 was controlled by GC- MS, 1H NMR, 13 C NMR, DEPT. It was not yet found in documents, so that was called anonacin. The study indicated that all of fractions showed cytotoxic activity in experimental tests
