Free radical scavenging and cytotoxic effect of Stachy-tarpheta indica vahl., against EAC cell lines
Keywords:
Antioxidant, MTT, Trypan blue, EAC cell line and AnticancerAbstract
The present study was carried out to evaluate the anticancer property of ethanol extract of Stachytarpheta indica vahl., leaves against Ehrlich ascites carcinoma. The leaves powder was subjected to continuous extraction using ethanol. The ethanol extracts of the Stachytarpheta indica vahl., (EESI) was studied for its antioxidant potentials using various free radical models such a DPPH, Reducing power assay, super oxide scavenging activity and ABTS. In vitro cytotoxic assay such as trypan blue dye exclusion and MTT assays were carried out against EAC cell line. The plant extract significantly inhibits the DPPH, ABTS and superoxide radical and showed pronounced reducing power.
