Abstract

This paper describes a bioassay for the quantitative determination of the antimitotic principle(s) present in the periwinkle plant using mice bearing Ehrlich ascites carcinoma (EAC). The method proved accurate, specific, simple and cheap. It could be of great value for the phytochemical screening of plants intended to discover new active compounds capable of arresting mitosis of tumor cells in the metaphase.
