Summary
The antitumor activity of alcohol extracts of the bark ofHippophae rhamnoides as well as the bark of the tree itself was tested upon 10 different forms of transplantable tumors found in mice and rats.
Tumors were markedly inhibited in 8 of the 10 types of tumor tested even if complete resorption failed to be observed.
The preparation is still very crude and toxic. More studies of the active ingredients are needed before the material will be suitable for clinical trial.
