CYTOTOXIC POTENTIAL OF THE CHLOROFORM EXTRACT OF THE LEAVES OF Peperomia quadrangularis AGAINST CANCER CELL LINES
Keywords:
Phytotherapics, Peperomia extracts, cancer cellsAbstract
Peperomia is a genus belonging to the Family Piperaceae, with an estimated 1600 species and a pantropical distribution. In view of the scarce literature on the biological activity of this species, in this study, we evaluated the cytotoxic potential of the chloroform fraction of the leaves of Peperomia quadrangularis against four cancer cell lines: HCT-116 (colon cancer - human), SNB-19 (Glioblastoma), PC3 (Prostate), HL60 (Leukemia) and MCF-7 (breast cancer) provided by the National Cancer Institute. The chloroform extract of P. quadrangularis presented toxicity toward the leukemia and prostate cancer cells.
