IC50 3.82 μg/ml against MDA-MB-273 4.0 µg/mL, 0.37 µM against MCF-7 2.36 µM, 250 nM against MDA-MB-231
Potency Crude extract preparations of the seeds of M. dentata were effective against a breast cancer cell line (IC50=3.82 μg/ml for MDA MB273 cell lines) and two ovarian cancer cell lines (IC50=2.8 μg/ml for NCI/ADR-RES and 4.5 μg/ml for SKOV).
Cell line/ mice model MDA-MB-273, NCI/ADR-RES, SKOV, HepG2, Hep3B, MDA-MB- 231, MCF-7, A549, Ca9-22, NCI/ADR-RES, Hela, HCT116, GI 101A, MDA-MB-157
Additional information  These results are the first reports of camptothecine and its derivatives in these species and offer rich alternative plant sources for the anticancer compound, camptothecine. Causes accumulation of cells in G2/M phase at low doses in GI 101A cells, while at higher doses (50nM), causes accumulation of cells in the S phase (in MDA-MB-157, MDA-MB-231 and GI 101A cells)
