L. aerial parts: anti-proliferative evaluation on human tumour and non-tumour cell lines.

Bearing in mind the several medicinal properties of genus, this work aimed to evaluate the anti-proliferative potential of the ethanolic extract (EE) and fractions from L aerial parts. Using the anti-proliferative protocol developed by the NCI/USA, four fractions (F2 - F4 and F6) obtained from EE showed promising anti-proliferative profile against a panel of human tumor and non-tumor cell lines.
