Evaluation of cytotoxic activity of myricetin and mahanimbine against brain cancer cell line (SF295) / Hazlinda Mohamad
Myricetin is a naturally occurring flavonoid that is found in berries, fruits, vegetables, herbs, tea and wine while mahanimbine are natural compounds isolated from Murraya koenigii. Myricetin has been demonstrated to possess antioxidative properties and it is also a potent anticarcinogen and antimu...

Myricetin is a naturally occurring flavonoid that is found in berries, fruits, vegetables, herbs, tea and wine while mahanimbine are natural compounds isolated from Murraya koenigii.
