Promising anti-cervical cancer efficacy and phytochemical analysis of Vitex doniana Sweet (Verbenaceae) leaf extracts: an in vitro investigation with molecular mechanisms of action
These findings provide valuable insights into the potential and molecular mechanisms underlying the anti-cervical cancer effects of V. doniana extracts, their attributable phytocompounds, and highlight their putative value as sources of lead compounds for the development of novel anticancer drugs.
