The objective of the study was to evaluate thecytotoxic effects of aqueous fruit extract of Cucumis melo in human prostate cancer cell line (PC-3) using MTTand 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 activitieswere exhibited by human prostate carcinoma PC-3 cell line. As the dose of theextract increased, the number of viable cells decreased. This confirms the anti-cancerand cytotoxic potential of the fruit of C.melo.
