Objective:
To observe the effects of extracts from root of Livistona chinensis on the growth inhibition in seven carcinoma cell lines.
Methods:
The growth inhibition was analyzed by MTT, cell colony and cell growth curve measuremen technique in the stomach carcinoma SGC7901, Lymphocytic leukemia L1210, Lymphoid neoplasm P388D1, tumor of cervix uteri Hela, hepar carcinoma hele 7404, melanoma B16 and mouse neuroblastomax rat glioma hybrid NG108-15 cells lines.
Results:
The growth of all tumor cells were inhibited by ethyl acetate of alcohol extract from roots of Livistona chinensis. The growth of all tumor cells were not affected by low dose extracts (0.5 microg/ml). The growth of all tumor cells were obviously inhibited by higher dose extracts (5.0 microg/ml). The growth of all tumor cells were inhibited in growth curve measurement.
Conclusion:
The results show that ethyl acetate of alcohol extracts from roots Livistona chinensis possesses the role of antitumor in cell culture.
