In order to develop new naturally occurring bioactive chemicals, field research on useful plants in the tropical rain forest in Cameroon was carried out in 1983 and 1985. A total of 110 species of plants was selected during the research and the biological activities of these plants, such as insecticidal, fungicidal, and herbicidal activities were examined from an agrochemical viewpoint. Furthermore, anticancer activity in a medical sense was also tested. Among the plants tested, 12 species exhibited insecticidal acitivity, 33 species herbicidal activity, 30 species fungicidal activity and 33 species anticancer activity
