title: Screening of antimicrobial and cytotoxic activities of Panamanian plants.
abstract: 34 crude extracts of Panamanian plants, representing 4 species of Celastraceae and 5 species of Lamiaceae, have been screened for antimicrobial activity against thirteen bacterial strains and two yeasts. The cytotoxic activity was assayed against HeLa and Hep-2 cell lines. Fifty-three percent were found to have significant antimicrobial activity against at least two of the organisms tested, and 26.5 percent showed an IC(50) < 100 μg/ml against one cell line.
