“…5,6 G. cowa is potential as chemopreventive agents have been studied in vitro against various types of cancer cells, such as HL-60 (leukemia), MCF-7 (breast), DU-45 (prostate), NCI-H460 (NSCL) and T47D (breast). [7][8][9][10] A preliminary study showed that dichloromethane (DCM) fraction from the rinds of G. cowa is known to have a cytotoxic effect on HeLa cervical cancer cells with IC 50 value of 5.764 µg/mL. Through this study, the apoptosis induction of HeLa cervical cancer cell death by DCM fraction of the rinds of G. cowa are studied further to develop cancer therapies, especially herbal medicine.…”
