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 activities were exhibited on human prostate carcinoma PC-3 cell line. As the dose of the extract increased, the number of viable cells decreased. This confirms the cytotoxic potential of the fruit of C. melo. SP - 19 EP - 0 AU - Ittiyavirah, Sibi Perumbamkudiyil AU - George, Ann AU - M. Santhosh, Anju AU - T.
