  Four plant species Solanum trilobatum, Spathodea campanulata, Syzygium jambos and Tylophora indica leaf extracts extracted with aqueous, methanol, ethanol and chloroform were screened for cytotoxicity in MCF-7 cells. Among 16 extracts tested significant (p<0.01) cytotoxicity was exhibited by SJCLE (74.4%), and TICLE (64.04%) with an IC50 of 95.2 μg/mL and 119 μg/mL respectively. The extract SJELE was found to exhibit 70.6% cytotoxic to MCF 7 cells but IC50 was found to higher 123.4 μg/mL compared to SJCLE and TICLE. The other extracts SCCLE, TIMLE, SJMLE, TICLE and TIELE exhibited above 60% anti-proliferative activity with their IC50 concentrations ranging from 98 μg/ mL-132 μg/mL. Furthermore, other extracts such as STELE, STMLE, and SCELE unveiled 50%-58% cytotoxicity against MCF-7 cell line at the highest concentration 300 μg/mL... Read More»
