Cytotoxic effect of A. hydaspica methanol extract and its derived fractions on MDA-MB 361, HCC-38 and Vero cells of green monkey after 48 h of treatment
| Extract/Fraction | MDA361 cell line | SI | HCC38 cell line | SI | Vero cell line |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| IC50 (μg/ml) | IC50V/IC50M | IC50 (μg/ml) | IC50V/IC50H | IC50 (μg/ml) | |
| AHM | 46.9 ± 1.31* | 5.42 | 75.9 ± 1.32* | 3.34 | 254 ± 1.81 |
| AHE | 29.9 ± 0.91* | 9.83 | 39.5 ± 0.87* | 7.44 | 294 ± 1.55 |
| AHB | 37.1 ± 1.01* | 6.97 | 56.1 ± 0.93* | 4.60 | 258 ± 1.68 |
Each value expressed as mean ± SEM (n = 3). Selectivity index (SI) >3 is considered to be highly selective, * shows significance at p <0.001 as compared to Vero cells. M represents MDA-MB-361; V represents Vero and H represents HCC38 cell lines. (One way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s multiple comparison test)
