Introduction: Nothapodytes nimmoniana (Icacinaceae) is a rich source of Camptothecin (CPT), an anti-cancer prodrug. Efficient extraction of CPT from various plant parts is crucial for better recovery of this pre-drug.
Objectives: To investigate the distribution of CPT in plant parts and to compare the methods of extraction on CPT yield to evaluate how cellular localisation affects the efficiency of extraction methods.
