Ethanol extract of Jasminum sambac (L.)Ait. used traditionally as anticancer agents was evaluated in vitro for their
antiproliferative activity against Hep-2, MCF-7, and Vero cell lines. Jasminum sambac (L.) Ait. extract demonstrated
significant antiproliferative activity against one or more of the cell lines (29).
Cytotoxic activity using ethanol extract of dried leaves of Jasminum sambac (L.) Aiton (Family - Oleaceae) was evaluated. The crude ethanol extract produced the most prominent cytotoxic activity against brine shrimp Artemia salina (LD50 = 50 g/ml and LC90 = 100 g/ml). Results provide a support for the use of this plant in traditional medicine and its further investigation (30).
