ABSTRACT
Objectives: cancer is the second leading cause of death and has a complex etiology. Efforts are being made to target different components for its treatment. Developments in the field of molecular biology have led the researchers to target apoptotic pathway. This study has been designed to assess the apoptotic effect of the extract of withaniacoagulans on different cancer cell lines
Methodology: this study was designed to check the anticancer activity of withaniacoagulans and to compare it in different cancer cell lines
Results: the extract of withaniacoagulans proved to be equally effective in hela, vero and bhk cell lines even at concentration of 1 O[micro]g/ml
Conclusions: the extract has a potential to act as apoptotic compound. Study can be elaborated by isolating different components and assessing their role as apoptotic molecules on individual basis
