Dysoxylum grande hiern as a potential source of biologically active constituents

Dysoxylum grande was chosen to be studied due to the lack of reported scientific investigations on the plant and interesting phytochemical findings on another plant of the same genus, Dysoxylum acutangulum. Two biological activities; antiacetylcholinesterase and ichthyotoxicity were used as the bioa...
