Different doses of plant extract and standard were taken and introduced into cancer cells lines were recorded at 72 hrs respectively it clearly showed an effective cell growth inhibition of human breast cancer cell lines MCF-7, MDA-MB-468 and MDA-MB-231 in a dose and specific time duration for the inhibition of cells. The present study demonstrates that M. oleifera leaf extract have anti-proliferative and pro-apoptotic effects on breast cancer cell lines in a concentration and time-dependent manner, which suggests their potential to be used as a new therapeutic strategy for breast cancers.
