There are many problems to obtain information of traditional medicine because lacks of information and scientific evidence to support the use of plants in treating medical conditions.

Modem medical science is also taking advantage of many herbal and traditional plants in search for new drug discovery. fn this research, each plant is extracted by using rotary evaporator under reduced pressure at a temperature of 40°C. .Brine shrimp lethality test is used to investigate the properties of cytotoxic effect of herbal medicine and can be related as anticancer treatment. This test is also useful to determine the LCso of herbal medicine tested. In this study crude extracts resulting in LCso values less than I 00 µg/ml were considered significantly active and had the potential for further investigation. They were the extracts of Plant 17, Plant 2, Plant 7, and Plant 5. 2007 Thesis https://ir.uitm.edu.my/id/eprint/99595/ https://ir.uitm.edu.my/id/eprint/99595/1/99595.PDF text en public degree Universiti Teknologi MARA (Kampus Puncak Alam) Faculty of Pharmacy Yan, Choo Chee
