Antiangiogenic activity of Gardenia jasminoides fruit

Phytother Res. 2003 Sep;17(8):961-2. doi: 10.1002/ptr.1259.

Abstract

The ethanol extract of gardenia fruit (Gardenia jasminoides Ellis), a Chinese herbal medicine, and its successive hexane, ethyl acetate, n-butanol and aqueous fractions were evaluated for their antiangiogenic activities using a chick chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) assay. The n-butanol fraction was found to be most effective in the antiangiogenic assay.
