Abstract
Seis extractos crudos de plantas de la amazonia Boliviana se sometieron a pruebas de afinidad de ADN, para identificar potencial actividad anti tumoral y anti malaria, el ensayo utiliza un método en HPLC, el cual se basa en la habilidad de los agentes anti tumorales para reducir el tamaño del pico de ADN. Tres extractos mostraron reducción positiva del pico, dos fueron negativos e inconclusos, Otras observaciones indicaron que la presencia del ADN en la mezcla también reduce o elimina los picos de las sustancias del extracto en el cromatograma, posiblemente indicando afinidad especifica
