Impact of ethanolic extract of Mikania glomerata on human breast cancer (MCF 7) cell line
Journal Title: International Journal of Advances in Scientific Research - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
The ethanol extract of Mikania glomerata has anti-proliferative effect on the human breast cancer cell lines. The object of the present work is to investigate the anti-cancer effect of Mikania glomerata ethanolic extract on breast cancer. Soxlet fractions using crude ethanolic extract of Mikania glomerata was prepared by standard extraction protocols. To check the antiproliferative effect of this extract, the extract chosen was tested for cell viability on the breast cancer cells MCF 7 in different concentrations. Cell viability was evaluated by MTT assay for 24 hour and 48 hours. The LD50 value was calculated and different morphometric assays were performed with the effective dose of the extract. The effect of the extract on the normal cell was evaluated as well. Cell proliferation, cell cycle, Clonogenic survival, Apoptosis and MTT assays were performed. The ethanolic extract showed a dose-dependent and time dependent inhibition on cell proliferation in the breast cancer cell lines. It showed low cytotoxicity in the normal cells and inhibited cellular adhesion and wound healing in treated cancer cells. The present study suggests that the leaf extract from Mikania glomerata induces anticancer effect on the breast cancer cells. Further study might help to confirm it as an anti-cancer drug.
