| Literature evidence | MCF-7 growth inhibition was attributed to apoptosis, population of apoptotic cells increased from 1.12% in controls to 5.64 and 8.1% after 48-h treatment with compounds 6 and 7, indicating their potential at inducing early and late apoptosis. | |

| Gene or Protein evidence | NA | |
| Target pathways | Our results suggest that compounds 6 and 7 can induce apoptosis in MCF-7 cells through the caspase-3 independent pathway. | |
| IC50 | 50.98±1.8 μM against MCF-7 | |
| Potency | Results of our previously performed cytotoxic screening of different fractions obtained from J. regia leaves indicated that the chloroform fraction had the most potent activity on breast cancer cells. | |
| Cell line/ mice model | MCF-7, BHY | |
