The antiproliferative/cytotoxic effect is expressed in terms of the percent inhibition of cells growth relative to the DMSO control after 72 h exposure to the extracts. Results are expressed as mean ± SD of three rreplicate experiments. Nd = Not determined. *There was a significant difference in cell inhibition in extract-treated cultures compared with DMSO-control in all cell lines (P<0.05).
