Possibilities of developing novel potent antitumor agents from the leaves of < em > Cryptomaria japonica < /em >

This study shows efficacy of methanolic extract of leaves ofCryptomeria japonicaas a probable antitumor/anticancer agent. Phytochemical analysis of the extract showed presence of flavonoids, which are known to possess significant anticancer activity. Thus there is a definite possibility of developing novel anticancer drugs from such plant products
