Abstract

Seven long-chain phenols were isolated from Ginkgo biloba L. Three of them, anacardic acid (Ib), bilobol (IIa), and cardanol (IIIa), showed antitumor activity against Sarcoma 180 ascites in mice. The antitumor effectiveness was rated (++) for Ib,(+++) for IIa, and (+++) for IIIa at 40 mg/kg/d by the total packed cell volume method.
