Phytochemical And Biological Investigation On Three Species Of The Genus Homalomena

Three species from the genus Homalomena, namely, H. pineodora, H. sagittifolia and H. coerulescens were chosen for this particular research since they have long been used in traditional medicine. The essential oils of the leaves and rhizomes of the three species were isolated by hydrodistillation an...
