To evaluate the anticancer potential of seeds of Nigella sativa using MCF and HepG2 cell lines along with its mechanism of action.
(3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) assay and acridine orange/ethidium bromide nuclear staining technique were selected to evaluate anticancer potential and mechanism of action of test extract.
Aqueous extract of N.sativa at a test dose of 180 mg and 300 mg was identified to be the best as anticancer agent against MCF and HepG2 cell lines among different solvent test extract where doxorubicin and cisplatin were employed as standard references.
Further study including separation and characterization of active principles in the aqueous extract shall prove beneficial.
利用MCF和HepG2细胞系评估黑种草籽的抗癌潜力及其作用机制。
选用3-(4,5-二甲基噻唑-2-基)-2,5-二苯基四氮唑溴盐(MTT)法和吖啶橙/溴化乙锭核染色技术来评估受试提取物的抗癌潜力和作用机制。
在以阿霉素和顺铂作为标准对照的不同溶剂受试提取物中,黑种草籽水提取物在180毫克和300毫克的测试剂量下被确定为针对MCF和HepG2细胞系的最佳抗癌剂。
包括对水提取物中活性成分进行分离和表征在内的进一步研究将证明是有益的。
