Treatment of the cancer cells with DCM and MeOH extracts sig-nificantly decreased BrdU incorporation in survival cells in a time–
concentration dependent manner, suggesting a decrease in DNA
synthesis. Comparing the DCM and MeOH-extract treatment, the
DCM extract exhibited stronger inhibition efficiency in HL-60 cell
than the other cell lines, whereas the MeOH extract showed higher
efficiency in Caco-2 cell. Both extracts acted almost equally on
inhibition of DNA synthesis in MCF-7 cell (Fig. 2)
