Abstract
Aim: To investigate the cytotoxic effect of methanol extract of Ptreocarpus erinaceus stem barks against cancer lines (Leukemia cell K562 and lung small cells A549) and its inhibition effects against NF-kB activation and lipoxygenase enzyme. Moreover, phenolic compounds, tannins and flavonoids amounts have been determined. Study Design: In vitro evaluation of cytotoxic activity, inhibitor effect against NF-kB activation and lipoxygenase; and quantitative determination of total phenolic contents. Place and Duration of Study: Laboratory of …
