Abstract
The present study was undertaken to investigate invitro anticancer activity of various extracts of Garcinia pedunculata using HeLA cell line. Phytochemical analysis of acetone, ethanol and aqueous extracts of Garcinia pedunculata revealed the presence of proteins, terpenoids, tannins, steroids, phenols and flavonoids. In this study, ethanolic extract of Garcinia pedunculata showed cytotoxic activity in cervical cancer cell line HeLa by MTT assay. The Apoptotic effect was confirmed by loss of membrane integrity, chromatin condensation, leakage of cytoplasmic contents and fragmentation of DNA by microscopic methods. Its apoptotic and anti cancer effect may be due to up regulation of genes like p53 and down regulation of gene Bcl-2, which was confirmed by RT-PCR. The ethanolic extract of Garcinia pedunculata possess anti-cancer effect and for future perspective, it can be further confirmed by isolating the compounds responsible for the activity and studying the exact mechanism by which the plant possess this activity and confirm the results using in vivo animal models.
