Abstract(s)

The cytotoxic, antibacterial, antioxidant and anticholinesterasic (anti-AChE) activities of the methanol and acetone extracts of Juniperus brevifolia wood and bark were determined. The present study demonstrates that bark extracts of J. brevifolia are the most active and showed good antioxidant activity, lower anti-AChE activity except for the acetone extract, poor cytotoxic and antibacterial activities and absence of activity for Gram (-) bacteria.
