Antioxidant and cytogenotoxic properties of (Allemão) A.C.Sm. leaf extract.

leaves have been used in folk medicine to treat respiratory diseases and inflammations. This study aimed to evaluate the biological potential of leaves by antioxidant and cytogenotoxic analyses of ethanolic crude extract (EE) and its fractions in healthy human cells. The EE was obtained by percolation, followed by fractionation using dichloromethane, cyclohexane, ethyl acetate (EtOAc), and methanol (MeOH) as organic solvents.
