Mechanistic Studies Of The Anticancer Activity Of The Extract Of Eupatorium Odoratum L. And Euphorbia Hirta L

Eupatorium odoratum L. (EO) and Euphorbia hirta L. (EH) are two plants which are commonly used traditionally to treat wounds, asthma, warts and tumors. Even though the anti-cancer properties were described previously in the species, little was known on the activity of these plants specifically and o...
