Natural products are well known to exhibit the antiproliferative and hepatoprotective activities. The present study aimed at assessing the potency of hydroalcoholic extracts of fruits, aerial parts and ischolar_mains of Momordica cymbalaria. Antiproiferative activity of the extracts assessed using in vitro cell lines such as MCF-7, HepG2, HeLa, PC3, A549 and Vero cell lines. The ability of extracts to exert toxic insult on cancer cells has been the basis of anticancer activity. The extracts were evaluated for hepatoprotective activity by employing primary rat hepatocytes.In the case of HeLa cells, MCR was found to be most potentially toxic with average CTC50 of 67 μg/ ml. MCR possesses more toxicity to PC3 cells than the others. Potential toxicity towards Vero cell lines was exhibited by MCR with average CTC50 value of 63 μg/ml. The results clearly demonstrate that the extract MCR exert potential anticancer activity. In vitro hepatoprotective activity of the plant extracts was studied by employing primary rat hepatocytes. Our results indicate that the drug Silymarin was found to exhibit 96 per cent protection against Paracetamol induced toxicity in Hep G2 cells at the tested concentration of 250 μg/ml. Among the parts of Momordica cymbalaria, MCA and MCR found to have slightly lesser activity compared to Sylimarin. In paracetamol induced toxicity of primary rat hepatocytes, the drug Silymarin was found to exhibit 85.28 per cent protection against Paracetamol induced toxicity in Primary rat hepatocytes at the tested concentration of 250 μg/ml. MCA was found to exhibit comparatively similar protective power than silymarin.Keywords

Natural products are very well known to exhibit anticancer activities. The present study aimed at assessing the potency of various extracts of Garcinia xanthochymus against cancer using in vitro cell lines. MCF 7, HepG2, HeLa, PC3, A549 and Vero cell lines were employed for the assessment. The ability of extracts to exert toxic insult on cancer cells has been the basis of anticancer activity. GxF was fond to be very potentially toxic (80 mg/ml) to HEP G2 cell lines among all the tested extracts. Also, it was found to be the most toxic compared to GxA and GxF whose average CTC50 was found to be 180 and 118 mg/ml, respectively. Among all the tested extracts, GxF was found to be potentially toxic to the MCF 7 cell lines whose CTC50 was found to be73 mg/ml. GxA possesses the CTC50 of 810 mg/ ml. GxR was found to be toxic with average CTC50 of 303 mg/ml. This was followed by GxF and GxA with average CTC50 values of 303 and 456 mg/ml. In vitro hepatoprotective activity of the plant extracts was studied by employing primary rat hepatocytes. The drug silymarin was found to exhibit 85.28 per cent protection against paracetamol induced toxicity in primary rat hepatocytes at the tested concentration of 250 mg/ml. It was found that GxF and GxR were found to have comparatively similar protective power like silymarin. These extract exhibited 83.63 per cent and 79.58 per cent protection against paracetamol induced toxicity in primary rat hepatocytes at the concentration of 200 mg/ml, respectively. GxA did not exhibit considerable activity with 55.61 per cent protection.Keywords
