Background: The Ehrlich Ascitic Carcinoma (EAC) is an experimental transplantable neoplasm that develops in several species of mice. The maintenance of the tumor occurs in vivo. Thus, freezing the cells would reduce the number of passages between animals, ensuring genetic stability and storage for longs period of experimentation.

Methods: We have investigated the potential of inhibition of the acetylcholinesterase produced by hexane extracts of leaves, branches, and flowers from three Bauhinia specimens, which is based on the technique of thin layer chromatography and on identifying the organ of the plant that possesses larger concentration of inhibitors.
Results: Retention factor analysis shows values of 0.
