South Africa has a rich plant biodiversity with only a limited number reported for the treatment of cancer. As a results, a collaborative research programme was initiated between the CSIR and the National Cancer Institue (NCI) in the USA, aimed at the screening of plant extract and identification of potentially new anti-cancer drug leads. Plant extracts that exhibited anti-cancer activity against these three human cell lines were then screened by the NCI.enPlant extractAnti-cancer propertiesVitro anti-cancer screeningConference PresentationFouché, G., Senabe, J., Khorombi, E., Kolesnikoya, N., Maharaj, V., & Nthambeleni, R.
