R. Vidhya [12] | Dr. Albin T. Fleming
Abstract: To assess the possibility of cytotoxic potential of T. castanifolia leaf extract. Since this family of plants have effective cytotoxic potential against cancer, analysis of this particular species was carried out. The acetone, ethylacetate and ethanol extracts were subjected to brine shrimp lethality assay and cytotoxicity analysis against MCF-7 cell line. MTT assay of these three extracts showed the ethyl acetate extract to be most effectively cytotoxic. Further studies can be carried out in this aspect to bring out the complete effectiveness of the extract and compounds therein.
