This study aimed to examine the cytotoxicity of MCF-7 breast cancer cells using ethanol extract. The cytotoxicity assay of kelakai extract against MCF-7 cells conducted in vitro by the MTT reduction method. The variation of concentration used is 1000; 500; 250; 125; 62.5; 31.5; and 15.625 µg/ml, doxorubicin as a positive control was performed in a concentration of 1 μg / ml. The results of the cytotoxicity assay showed that the kelakai extract had a toxic effect on MCF-7 cells with an IC50 value of 493.57 µg / ml. |
