Apoptotic effects of CZE and CIN on oral cancer cells as observed Annexin-V-FITC double staining. The untreated, CZE (50, 100, and 200 μg/ml), CIN (20, 40, and 80 μm) and cisplatin (2 μg/ml) treated cancer cells (SCC-9 and SCC-25) cells were subjected to Annexin-V-FITC double staining at 48 h (A) Representative quadrant plots from flow cytometry analysis showing dose-dependent increase in apoptotic cells. Quad I (Top-left): Necrotic (Annexin-V-FITC-/PI+); Quad II (Top-right): late apoptotic cells (Annexin-V-FITC+/PI+); Quad III (Bottom-left): live cells (Annexin-V-FITC-/PI); Quad IV (Bottom-right): early apoptotic cells (Annexin-V-FITC+/PI) (B) Bar graphs showing the percentage distribution of cancer cells (mean ± SD) in various phases of apoptosis after treatment with different concentrations of Cinnamomum zeylanicum extract (CZE), cinnamaldehyde (CIN) and Cisplatin (Cis).
