Abstract
Cancer (CA) is global second cause of death and while drug discovery has advanced, new plant-derived medicines also need to be developed. Plant based medicinal products have many benefits as compared to the use of conventional chemical medications in minimizing the symptoms and side effects. The purpose of this study was to detect potential cytotoxicity (CYT) of activated carbon (AC) from Musca acuminata fruit peel. Significantly, the AC caused substantial increases in the synthesis of ROS, along with an attenuation of the mitochondrial (MTD) membrane potential and trigger caspase-3 activity activation in the HepG-2 cells. These findings showed that AC is a potential natural product source and provides prospects for developing new CA medicines
