Decreased S Phase and G2/M Phase Cells by a Bioactive Fraction from the Hexane Extract of Rhododendron aroboreum Leading to the Apoptosis of HeLa Cells In-Vitro
Abstract:Search for novel anticancer compounds from natural sources is a priority goal of cancer biologists. Rhododendron arboreum is one of the most stately and impressive Rhododendron species. In hilly areas, the flowers of R. arboreum are used for the treatment of chronic diseases. The current study was aimed to evaluate the anti-proliferative property of R. arboreum on HeLa cells. Crude extract of the flower was prepared using serial extraction procedure with different solvents. Cytotoxicity of the extracts on HeLa… Show more
