Popis: | Clerodendrum viscosum is a traditionally used medicinal plant. The present study aimed to analyze a detailed cytotoxic effect of the nonpolar petroleum ether fraction (AQPEF) of leaf aqueous extract of C. viscosum Vent. (LAECV) in Allium cepa root tip cells. The LAECV was fractionated with petroleum ether and tested for A. cepa toxicity at early hours (2 and 4 h treatment) at concentrations 0, 50, 100, 150 and 200 {micro}g mL-1. The highest aberrant cell percentage (10.45{+/-}0.46%) was scored from 150 {micro}g mL-1 followed by100 {micro}g mL-1 (8.75{+/-}0.26%) concentration at 4 h treated samples. The AQPEF treatment induced a significant (p |
