Treatments | Cell viability (%) |
---|---|
Control (Untreated cells) | 100.00 ± 10.50* |
Positive control (Cells infected with DENV-1) | 44.60 ± 4.42 |
Andrographis paniculata | 113.00 ± 4.65* |
Momordica charantia | 98.00 ± 8.69* |
Cymbopogn citrates | 32.00 ± 6.93 |
Ocimum sanctum | 48.00 ± 7.16 |
Citrus limon | 52.00 ± 7.54 |
Pelargonium citrosum | 41.40 ± 2.75 |
The data shown are mean ± S.D. '*' denotes significant difference at P < 0.05, compared to the positive control using unpaired t-test, performed by GraphPad Instat version 3.0.
