Abstract
The cytostatic activity of seven phenolic acids: coumaric, caffeic, ferulic , gentisic, protocatechuic, syringic and isovanillic acid previously isolat ed from Scrophularia frutescens has been evaluated against Hep-2 cells (der ived from a human epidermoid carcinoma of the larynx) and McCoy cells (deri ved from the synovial fluid in the knee joint of a patient suffering from d egenerative arthritis). The compounds belonging to the cinnamic group prese nt the highest activity.
