Inhibitory Action of Different Traditional Chinese Drug on Human Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma Cells CNE-2 in Vitro / 中国药房

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the inhibitory actions of 3 traditional Chinese drugs on human nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells CNE-2 in vitro.METHODS:The IC50(50% inhibiting concentration)of 3 traditional Chinese drugs on human nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells CNE-2 in vitro was measured by MTT assay.RESULTS:The inhibitory actions of 3 traditional Chinese drugs on human nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells CNE-2 in vitro were enhanced with the increase of the concentration in a concentration-dependent manner,with formulation Ⅲ showing the most potent inhibitory action on CNE-2 cells in vitro.CONCLUSION:The heat-clearing and detoxicating traditional Chinese drugs could markedly inhibit the proliferation of CNE-2 cells.
