Evaluation of four Cameroonian medicinal plants for anticancer, antigonorrheal and antireverse transcriptase activities

Highlights ► The in vitro cytotoxicity, antigonorrheal and antireverse transcriptase activities of six crude extracts were evaluated ► Supportive baseline information for the medicinal use of B. engleriana , C. lusitanica , G. tessmanii , V. paradoxa was provided ► B. engleriana could be good source...
