Eucharis formosa, Alkaloids, Cytotoxic activity, Breast cancer, GC-MSAbstract
Natural products have been an important source for the discovery of new bioactive compounds with anticancer properties [1,3]. Therefore, plants of the Amaryllidaceae family represent a promising source of bioactive compounds as an alternative to conventional treatments [1–4]. This study aimed to analyze Eucharis formosa alkaloids through a bioguided study to determine the cytotoxic activity in the breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231 [5,7]
