In vitro cytotoxic effects of chemical constituents of Euphorbia grandicornis Blanc against breast cancer cells

Euphorbia grandicornis Blanc is widely utilized in traditional medicine for a variety of ailments including body pains associated with skin irritations, inflammation, and snake or scorpion bites. Compounds from E. grandicornis were characterized using spectroscopic techniques, NMR, IR, MS, and melti...
