TL;DR: The extract prepared according to folk use and WSMoL may be non-toxic to mammalian cells; however, the aqueous seed extract and cmol may be cytotoxic to immune cells which may explain the immunosuppressive potential of the extract.

TL;DR: Results demonstrated that the chloroform, acetone and ethanol extracts of root material were active against the growth of Staphylococcus aureus, Micrococcus luteus, Bacillus subtilis, Mycobacterium smegmatis, Candida albicans and Monilia sitophila.

TL;DR: The CChAgNpFNc showed antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Enterococcus faecalis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Candida albicans, and are potential options for the control of multiple-drug-resistant microorganisms and do not represent substantial risks to human health.

TL;DR: The anti-tumor potential of BlL, a galactoside-binding lectin isolated from Bothrops leucurus venom, was evaluated as well as its cytotoxicity and hemolysis activity, indicating cell death by apoptosis.

TL;DR: The constituents with higher anticancer action are present in the extracts of dichloromethane and chloroform and in the chloro Form fraction of H. musciformis, Digenea simplex, P. gymnospora, and D. vulgare.
