To investigate the toxicity of methanol extract of various parts (Root, Stem, Leaf, Flower and Fruit) of Lantana camara (L. Camara) in Artemia salina.
The methanol extracts of L. camara were tested for in vivo brine shrimp lethality assay.
All the tested extract exhibited very low toxicity on brine shrimp larva. The results showed that the root extract was the most toxic part of L. camara and may have potential as anticancer agent.
Methanolic extract of L. camara is relatively safe on short-term exposure.
研究马缨丹（Lantana camara）各部位（根、茎、叶、花和果实）的甲醇提取物对卤虫（Artemia salina）的毒性。
对马缨丹的甲醇提取物进行卤虫活体致死率测定试验。
所有受试提取物对卤虫幼虫的毒性都很低。结果表明，根提取物是马缨丹毒性最大的部位，可能具有抗癌潜力。
短期接触马缨丹甲醇提取物相对安全。
