Evaluation of cytotoxic, anti-oxidant, and apoptotic effects of Dysphania botrys extract on B16F10 and MCF-7 cell lines.

Key Points

• The central aim is to evaluate the cytotoxic, anti-oxidant, and apoptotic effects of Dysphania botrys extract on specific cancer cell lines.
• Used DCM fraction of D. botrys extract for testing
• Analyzed effects on B16F10 and MCF-7 cell lines
• Assessed antioxidant activity through phenolic and flavonoid content
• Identified terpenoid compounds linked to cytotoxicity
• Significant anti-oxidant effects observed linked to phenolic and flavonoid compounds
• Cytotoxic effects attributed to terpenoid compounds
• Need for additional studies to explore other bioactive compounds and protective mechanisms
