Abstract
The present work constitutes a review of the literature on natural products with potential antitumor activity against ovarian neoplasias. The review refers to five plant extracts and sixty-nine compounds isolated from higher plants and microorganisms, which are classified in appropriate chemical groups and model tested, and cites their activity. Some aspects of recent research with natural products directed to ward producing drugs which are inhibitors of ovarian neoplasia are discussed.
