Assessment of DNA damage in LN-18 using alkaline comet assay. (A) DNA damage expressed as tail moment in cells treated respectively with IC50 values of FLDP-5, FLDP-8 and curcumin at different time-points ranging from 30 min until 6-h. Fluorescence microscopic images stained with EtBr stain of untreated cells (a), cells treated with FLDP-5 at 2.5 μM for 4-h (b), FLDP-8 at 5 μM for 4-h (c), curcumin at 25 μM for 4-h (d), FLDP-5 at 2.5 μM for 6-h (e), FLDP-8 at 5 μM for 6-h (f), curcumin at 25 μM for 6-h (g) and positive control (h). Each data was obtained from three independent experimental replicates and each data point in (A) was expressed as mean ± SEM of tail moment. *p < 0.05 against negative control, NEG and # p < 0.05 against curcumin.
