In vitro evaluation of the antitumoral and antiangiogenic effects of extracts from Spondias mombin L. leaves

Abstract

The traditional ethnobotanic and pharmacologic use of Spondias mombin L. samples includes a wide range of applications. In the present study, new antiangiogenic and antitumor effects of two types of extracts from Spondias mombin L. leaves have been demonstrated by using a number of in vitro assays in both endothelial and human cancer and non cancer cells.
