TY - JOUR T1 - Studies of Cytotoxic Potential of Cucumis melo. Linn Fruit Aqueous Extract in Prostate Cancer Cell lines PC-3 Using MTT and Neutral Red Assay TT - JF - iums-ijpt JO - iums-ijpt VL - 12 IS - 1 UR - http://ijpt.iums.ac.ir/article-1-251-en.html Y1 - 2013 SP - 24 EP - 0 N2 - 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. M3 ER -
