Treatment was repeated at 28-day interval. Twelve patients were registered and evaluated for toxicity. Median age was 55 (range 40–63) and median number of previous treatment regimens were 2 (range 1–4).

G. two-year) storage time (Lorch and Troger, 2000). , 1991; Kintzios and Barberaki, 2000).

1999). Annonaceous acetogenins are readily soluble in most organic solvents. Ethanol extraction of the dried plant material is followed by solvent partitions to concentrate the compounds. Distribution: Exclusively in the Annonaceae family. Biosynthesis in plant cells: Derived from the polyketide pathway, while the tetrahydrofuran and epoxide rings are suggested to arise from isolated double bonds through epoxidation and cyclization. Basis of anticancer/antitumor activity: Annonaceous acetogenins are cytotoxic against certain cancer species and leukemia.
