M. orbicularis’ plant parts’ ethanolic extracts reduce the viability of A549 cells. MTT assay was used to measure cell viability of A549 cells treated for 24, 48, and 72 h with increasing concentrations (50, 100, 150, 200 μg/mL) of M. orbicularis’ plant parts’ ethanolic extracts. (A–C) show the results of MTT cell cytotoxicity assay of A549 cells treated with the indicated concentrations of ethanolic plant extracts of M. orbicularis leaves, fruits, and stems, respectively. (D) shows the cell viability of neonatal fibroblast cells treated with the indicated concentrations of M. orbicularis’ fruits’ ethanolic extract. Viability of treated cells was compared to the control-(ctr) vehicle-treated cells. Data are displayed as the mean ± SEM of three independent experiments (n = 3). * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, and **** p < 0.0001.
