Abstract
This study investigates the anticancer potential of methanolic extract of A. subulatum dry fruits (MEAS) in Dalton’s Lymphoma Ascites (DLA) cells in vitro and on DLA induced ascitic and solid tumor-bearing mice. MEAS induced apoptosis in DLA cells and MEAS administration effectively reduced tumor burden, and increased life span via modulating pro-inflammatory cytokines and regulating NF-κB pathway. MEAS seemed to be much safer than the standard drug cyclophosphamide, as the latter was associated with adverse effects such as body weight loss, depletion of hemoglobin level and hepatotoxicity, suggesting A. subulatum as a potential nutraceutical against cancer.
