Abstract

Quercetin was isolated from an ethanol extract of Carmona retusa (Vahl.) Masam and was analyzed for its anticancer activity on HepG2 cell lines by MTT assay, Hoechst 33342 staining and Caspase-3 colorimetric assay. Plant extract yield of flavonoid quercetin from Carmona retusa (Vahl.) Masam showed significant and concentration-dependent anticancer activity at 100 ?g/ml and 80 ?g/ml doses after 24 and 48 h of treatment on HepG2 cell line in MTT assay, significant cell apoptosis have shown at 53?g/ml concentration of extract yield of flavonoid quercetin from Carmona retusa (Vahl.) Masam in Hoechst 33342 staining and a significant activation of caspase-3 observed at 100 ?g/ml of extract yield of flavonoid quercetin from Carmona retusa (Vahl.) Masam after 24 h and even 48 h of incubation. Our findings suggesting that the plant extract yield of flavonoid quercetin from Carmona retusa (Vahl.) Masam could be used as a promising anticancer agent.
