Description
Abstract The crude methanolic extracts of six species of Hypericum growing in southern Brazil (Hypericum caprifoliatum Cham. & Schlecht., H. carinatum Griseb., H. connatum Lam., H. myrianthum Cham. & Schlecht., H. polyanthemum Klotzsch ex Reichardt and H. ternum A. St. Hil.) were screened for their antiproliferative activity against two cell lines (HT-29 human colon carcinoma cells and H-460 non-small cell lung carcinoma). The most active crude extracts were those from H. caprifoliatum, H. myrianthum and, to a lesser extent, from H. connatum. All plants were submitted to fractionation with solvents in increasing polarity and re-assayed for the two cell lines used previously, as well as U-373 human malignant glioma cells. The most active fractions were the hexane fractions obtained from H. caprifoliatum, H. myrianthum and H. ternum.
