Abstract
The aqueous and n-butanol fractions of the methanolic extract of Raphia hookeri fruit mesocarp was evaluated for cytotoxic properties using three different bioassays. The n-butanol fraction exhibited greater cytotoxicity than the aqueous fraction when tested against brine shrimp, mosquito larvae, and 5-day old tadpoles, the cytotoxicity towards the tadpoles being the most pronounced (LC(50)=0.83 ppm).Entities:
