Abstract

Cervical cancer remains a leading cause of cancer-related mortality among women worldwide. Natural plant extracts have emerged as promising sources of anticancer agents due to their bioactive compounds and low toxicity. This study investigates the cytotoxic effects of Cissus quadrangularis on the HeLa cell line using the MTT assay. Various concentrations of the plant extract were tested to evaluate cell viability and determine its potential anticancer activity. Results demonstrated a dose-dependent reduction in HeLa cell viability, suggesting significant cytotoxic potential of Cissus quadrangularis. These findings provide preliminary evidence supporting the use of this plant extract as a complementary therapeutic approach for cervical cancer, warranting further in-depth molecular studies.

Keywords
