摘要: The cytotoxicity study with cancer cell line A-549 indicated that the methanol insoluble fraction of crude red forms Abrus precatorius is toxic (CTC50 175,100 mg/ml) in microculture tetrazolium assay and sulphorhodamine B assays, whereas fractions white exhibited toxicity at still higher concentrations. However, an antitumor screening by short-term DLA cells showed extracts to be comparatively less toxic.
