Subject area	Biology
More specific subject area	Screening for Anti Cancer Activity in medicinal plants and Ethno medicines
Type of data	Tables, microscopy images, text file, graphs, Chromatogram figure, docking images
How data was acquired	Conducting of anticancer activity assays and cytotoxicity studies with methanol and water extracts of leaf and heartwood of Caesalpinia sappan L. on MCF-7 (Human breast cancer) and A549 (Human lung cancer) cell lines. The in vitro anti tumor activity was screened by assessing tumor volume, viable and nonviable tumor cell count, tumor weight, hematological parameters and biochemical estimations by MTT Assay and Flow cytometry studies.
Data format	Analyzed data
Experimental factors	Leaf and heart wood was extracted in chloroform, water and methanol solvents to study their cytotoxic effect on human cancer cell lines and determine the extracts IC50 value.
Experimental features	The effect of leaf and heartwood extracts prepared in water and methanol on MCF-7 (Human breast cancer) and A549 (Human lung cancer) and Identification of compounds from Caesalpinia sappan L., leaf and heartwood water and methanol extracts through LC–MS () and Docking studies against a BCl2 (B-cell lymphoma 2) protein which regulates the apoptosis.
