Abstract
An ethyl alcohol extract of the yellow jacket V. pensylvanica Saussure inhibited growth of the mouse P388 lymphocytic leukemia cell line. Separation of a ligroin fraction guided by bioassay led to characterization of the cytotoxic constituents as oleic acid (1a) and palmitoleic acid (1b). Evidence was also found for the presence of palmitic acid and the sterols sitosterol, campesterol and cholesterol.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
