Combretum farinosum Extract Toxicity to Skin and Lung Cell Lines as Measured by the Methylthiazoletetrazolium Assay

Conclusion: Both the roots petroleum ether and roots acetone extracts may have potential use in targeting diseased non-cancerous tissue (e.g., benign tumors) due to their cytotoxicity to normal cell lines. Finally, the roots petroleum ether extract may be the most promising extract for potential use as an anticancer drug if active compounds can be more thoroughly isolated.
