LC50 value of n-hexane, ethyl acetate, ethanol, methanol and water extracts of the plant materials were determined using brine shrimp (Artemia salina) lethality bioassay. The n-hexane, ethyl acetate, methanol and water extracts of R.pedatus Waldst.&Kit. subsp. pedatus, the n-hexane, ethyl acetate and water extracts of R. constantinapolitanus DC. and the n-hexane, ethanol and water extracts of R. isthmicus Boiss. subsp. tenuifolius showed cytotoxic activity against the Brine shrimp}, number={3}, publisher={Ankara Üniversitesi}
