Purified further by avicel column chromatography and preparative thin layer chromatography. Combretin was investigated for anti-mycobacterium and anti-cancer activities. Combretin was inactive against Mycobacterium tuberculosis but showed anti-cancer activities against human hepatocarcinoma （Hep G2） ATCC HB-8065 and human caucasian colon adenocarcinoma （Caco2） ATCC HTB-39 at concentration greater than 300 mcg/ml in DMSO （Dimethyl sulfoxide）.展开更多
