The cytostatic activities of Agave intermixta L. (Agavaceae) and Cissus sicyoides L. (Vitaceae) have been determined. In the antimitotic assay, Agave intermixta L . showed complete inhibition of cell division at 24 h of treatment. Both species showed a moderate cytostatic activity against HEp‐2 cells, Cissus sicyoides L. being the most active species. Copyright © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
