Abstract
⺠We investigated the antioxidant and cytotoxic activities of the aqueous extract of Plinia edulis leaves (AEP). ⺠AEP exhibited antioxidant activity and was cytotoxic to the human breast cancer MCF-7 cell line. ⺠The extract seems to be a chemopreventive agent and a good candidate for antineoplastic drug development.
