Plants have been used as traditional medicines for centuries and have provided several modern chemotherapeutic drugs such as Taxol (Paclitaxel). Currently, there are a number of un-investigated New England plants which offer an exciting source for the discovery of new drugs. The objective of this project will be to conduct a comprehensive phytochemical examination of a plant extract using state-of-the art chemistry instrumentation. All isolates will be screened in antioxidant and cell culture anticancer bioassays. This project may result in the identification of new medicinally useful compounds.
