Communication Oncostatic Effects of Alangium vitiense Extracts (ICIG-EORTC 1131, 1186, and 1207) on Lymphoid Murine Tumors

A total alkaloid and two purified alkaloid extracts of Alangium vitiense were found to be oncostatic for L1210 leukemia; the total alkaloid exerted a noticeable activity, and the purified extracts exerted a borderline activity. These two purified extracts are noticeably oncostatic for two other lymphoid neoplasias in mice, P388 leukemia and Gardner lymphosarcoma. These compounds are not active on Warner myelomonocytic leukemia WEHI3 or on B16 melanoma.
