Cytotoxic Activities of Physalis minima L. Chloroform Extract on Human Lung Adenocarcinoma NCI-H23 Cell Lines by Induction of Apoptosis

Figure 4

Morphological features of apoptosis in NCI-H23 cells after treated with Physalis minima chloroform extract (2.80 μg/mL, EC₅₀ at 72 h) for 24 h. (a) Chromatin clumping (Cclp), chromatin margination (Cmrg), (b) convolution of nuclear membrane (MNcov) and cytoplasmic outlines (MCcov), (c) budding of cell (MCbud) and led to the formation of apoptotic bodies (AB), were observed (shown by arrows).
