the objective of the study was to evaluate the cytotoxic effects of aqueous extract of cucumis melo fruit on human prostate cancer cell line (pc-3) using mtt and neutral red assays. the crude aqueous extract of c. melo was prepared by cold maceration method, filtered, concentrated and tested on pc-3 cell line. dose-dependent cytotoxic activities were exhibited on human prostate carcinoma pc-3 c...

Benjakul have also been used for cancer therapy by folk medicine. The ethanolic extracts, five fractions and three pure compounds from Benjakul were investigated for cytotoxic activities against two types of human lung cancer cell lines (COR-L23 and A549) and one normal human lung myofibroblasts (MRC-5). The cytotoxic activities of the BEN-3 fraction which fractionated with vacuum liquid chroma...

Isolation and identification of some potent anti-tumor compounds from medicinal plants, has motivated researchers to screen different parts of plant species for anti-tumor effects. It has been reported that several conifer posses cytotoxic activities on some human tumor cell lines. In this study, male and female branchlets or fruit of four different species of Iranian conifers (Juniperus Sabina...
