Isolation, Antiradical Activity, and Cytotoxicity of Flavonoids From Cunila angustifolia
Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 2, February 2026.Leaves of Cunila angustifolia were extracted and fractionated to isolate flavonoids and terpenoids. Chemical characterization led to the identification of acacetin and acacetin‐7‐O‐rutinoside. The ethyl acetate fraction exhibited pronounced antiradical activity, while selective cytotoxic effects were observed against human cancer cell lines ...
