PHYTOCHEMICAL ANALYSIS AND IN VITRO ANTICANCER STUDY OF ETHANOLIC EXTRACT OF LEAVES OF AMARANTHUS CRUENTUS LINN. AGAINST COLON CANCER CELL LINE (HCT-116)
*Vithya Sekar and N. Jayshree
ABSTRACT
Objective: The study is aimed at evaluating the anticancer activity of ethanolic extract of leaves of Amaranthus cruentus Linn. against colon cancer cell lines on the basis of its indigenous use and constituents. Method: The ethanolic extract of the leaves of Amaranthus cruentus prepared by using the soxhlet extraction method was subjected to phytochemical analysis to detect the plethora of secondary metabolities present. The total flavonoid content was determined using aluminium chloride colorimeteric method. The in vitro anticancer activity was studied using MTT assay against HCT – 116 (Colon cancer cell line). Keywords: MTT assay, Vero cell line, HCT-116, Amaranthus cruentus. [Download Article] [Download Certifiate] |
