The aqueous and ethanolextract from V. negundo potently inhibited growth of MCF-7 in a concentration-dependent manner. V.negundo pretreatment resulted in deferential cell viability and IC50 value were observed in MCF-7 cell linebut not in control cell line. The above result suggested that V. negundo has a potential benefits in breastcancer cells. %K Anti-cancer %K anti-proliferative %K breast cancer %K cytotoxicity %K V. negundo %K MCF-7 %U http://www.bioinfo.in/uploadfiles/12666459262_1_1_IJDD.pdf
