Method :
MTT and trypan blue assay were used to study the anticancer effect of the herbal drugs Punica granatum and Curcuma longa on the cell lines A549, DU145 and MCF-7.
Results :
The IC50 value of P.granatum was more for the cell line A549 and the IC50 value of C.longa was more for DU145 and MCF-7 cell lines.
Conclusion :
