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. CP - IRAN IN - LG - eng PB - iums-ijpt PG - 24 PT - Research Article YR - 2013
