Abstract
The methanolic extract of fruiting body of Paecilomyces tenuipes DGUM 32001 showed significant cytotoxicity against human cancer cells: HepG2 and MCF-7. The methanolic extract was further fractionated with organic solvents such as chloroform and ethyl acetate in that order. Among the fractions tested, the ethyl acetate fraction showed the highest cytotoxicity against the carcinoma tested. The
