Determination of the Cytotoxic Effect of Different Leaf Extracts from Parinari curatellifolia (Chrysobalanaceae)

Figure 7

The effects of the leaf extract from P. curatellifolia on the viability of mouse peritoneal cells using the MTT assay. (a) Methanol extract, (b) water extract, and (c) saponin-enriched fraction. Mice peritoneal cells were plated in 96-well plates and incubated with the extracts of concentrations 6.3, 12.5, 25, and 50 µg/ml at 37°C in a 5% carbon dioxide incubator. The negative control contained cells and RPMI complete media only, and positive control contained cells. The results are mean ± SD using Dunnett’s multiple range test () compared to control. ; ; .
