EFFECT OF METHANOLIC EXTRACT OF ADENANTHERA PAVONINA LINN ON DALTON'S ASCITIC LYMPHOMA
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Research in Pharmacy and Biotechnology - Year 2013, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
The present study was undertaken to examine anticancer activity of Adenanthera pavonina L stem bark extract on Dalton's ascitic lymphoma (DAL) in male Swiss albino mice. Tumour was induced in mice by intraperitoneal injection of DAL cells (1 x 1000000 cells / mouse). Methanol extract of Adenanthera pavonina L (MAP) was administrated to the mice at the dose of 125 and 250 mg/kg/day, p.o. The antitumor effect of the extract was evaluated by using In-vitro cytotoxic assay; Mean survival time (MST), Tumour volume (TV), Percentage Increase in Life Span (ILS), viable and non-viable tumour cells count. The findings of this study indicate that the MAP possesses significant antitumor activity.
