Evaluation of In-vitro Anticancer Screening Using SRB Assay on Human Cell Lines of Various Extracts of Globally Endangered Ethnomedicinal Tree Species Adansonia digitata L.

Abstract

ABSTRACT The species Adansonia digitata L is commonly called as baobab belongs to family Bombacaceae. In the present report, we have evaluated the in vitro anticancer activity based on its reported phytoconstituents. The extracts of callus, stem, root, leaf and fruit pulp were obtained using solvents like methanol, hexane and ethyl acetate by Soxhlet extraction method (organic). The in-vitro anticancer activity was evaluated against four human cancer cell lines Colo-205 (Colon cancer cell line), DU-125 (Prostate cancer cell line), MCF-7 (Breast cancer cell line) and HeLa (Cervix cancer cell line) using Sulforhodamine B (SRB) assay. The cytotoxic potential of DU-125 cell lines was examined, and the results showed that the GI50 value of the methanolic callus, methanolic leaf, hexane leaf, and ethyl acetate leaf extracts was >80 µg/ml. The GI50 values of the leaf extracts in hexane and ethyl acetate were found to be >80 µg/ml on the Colo-205 cell line. For the MCF-7 cell line, methanolic callus extracts GI50 values were noted >80 µg/ml and hexane and ethyl acetate leaf extracts were recorded 80 µg/ml on the HeLa cell lines, while hexane and ethyl acetate leaf extracts had GI50 values of 71.2 µg/ml and 76.2 µg/ml, respectively. These findings introduce A. digitata as potentially useful as anti-cancer agent. Keywords: Adansonia digitata, Sulforhodamine B, callus, stem, root, leaf, fruit pulp extracts, human cell lines
