It is mediated by a complex multistep comprising a series of cellular events that lead to neovascularisation. It was proposed nearly 45 years ago, that by blocking tumor angiogenesis can help treat cancer. Decades of experimental evidence have shown that solid tumor growth is dependent on angiogenic formation of new blood vessels - making it a therapeutic option. This study aims to test the antiangiogenic property of methanolic extract of Lagerstroemia speciosa L. (also known as Banaba in the Philippines) using CAM assay. This study will determine and compare the antiangiogenic property of methanolic crude extract of L. speciosa injected in a day 8 old chick embryo egg in different extract concentrations (5µg/ml, 10µg/ml, 20µg/ml) and divided into 5 groups : methotrexate (positive control), distilled water (negative control), and the succeeding groups with different concentrations. Based on the results, the higher the concentration of methanolic extract of banaba leaves implanted in CAM generally led to higher level of angiogenesis inhibition. Therefore, the researchers conclude that the ectracts of L. speciosa leaves have anti-angiogenic property ER -
