IC50 150 µg/ml against MDA-MB-231 145 µg/ml against MCF-7 100 µg/ml against SKBR-3
Potency This fraction contains a number of phenolic compounds, and this phenolic-rich EtOAC fraction was particularly effective against gastric and breast cancer cells.
Cell line/ mice model MCF-7, MDA-MB-231, SKBR-3, AGS, SNU-668, SNU-638, A549, NCI-H157, HCT116, HepG2
Additional information  The results showed that PPEF induces apoptosis only in gastric and breast cancer cell lines, but not in lung, colon or liver cancer cell lines. Therefore, PPEF may have a significant potential as an organ-specific anti-cancer agent.
