IC50 Methanol extract - 551 µg/ml against MCF-7 Ethyl acetate extract - 57 µg/ml against MCF-7 Dichloromethane extract - 1125 µg/ml against MCF-7 n-Hexane extract - 1951 µg/ml against MCF-7
Potency Although MCF-7 cells were best inhibited by A. ciniformis dichloromethane (IC50 value: 29 µg/ml) and A. vulgaris ethyl acetate (IC50 value: 57 µg/ml) extracts, it was not inhibited by n-hexane extract of A. diffusa (IC50 value: more than 2000 µg/ml).
