Antiproliferative Effects of Polar Extracts of the Aerial Parts of <i>Fuchsia standishii</i> J. Harrison.

ABSTRACT: Fuchsia standishii J.Harrison is a species widely used in traditional medicine in southern Ecuador for treating various ailments, including high blood pressure, as an antacid and a relaxant. The pharmacological basis for these traditional uses is unknown. Given the reported anti-inflammatory and cytotoxic properties of the Onagraceae family, we investigated the plant's potential for addressing chronic conditions. This study explored the bioactive potential of polar extracts from the aerial parts of F. standishii, focusing on antiproliferative activity against a panel of human tumor cell lines (A549, HBL-100, HeLa, SW1573, T-47D). The plant material was sequentially extracted and partitioned into nine fractions. All fractions were screened for antiproliferative activity
