title: In vitro cytotoxicity of 11 Panamanian plants.
abstract: Thirty-five crude extracts from 11 Panamanian plants, distributed in 10 genera and five families, were evaluated for their in vitro cytotoxicity. Four extracts exhibited an inhibition of cellular growth at IC(50) values lower than 25 microg/ml which was considered a significant activity.
