A study on bioactive constituents of Myrmecodia Platytyrea subsp. antoinii (Becc.) Huxley & Jebb / Nur Fadhilah Mohamad Haris

The Myrmecodia genus (ant plant) is traditionally used to prevent and cure the cancer, heart problems and other serious diseases. Although there are many medicinal effects claimed, unfortunately there were only a few reports on the chemical isolation of the constituents on Myrmecodia platytyrea subs...
