Abstract
Despite clinical advances in anticancer therapy, there is still a need for novel anticancer metabolites, with
higher efficacy and lesser side effects. Oroxylum indicum(L.) Vent. is a small tree of the Bignoniaceae family
which is well known for its food and medicinal properties. In present study, the chemopreventive properties
of O. indicumhot and cold non-polar extracts (petroleum ether and chloroform) were investigated with MDAMB-231 (cancer cells) and WRL-68 (non-tumor cells) by XTT assay. All the extracts, and particularly the
petroleum ether hot extract (PHO), exhibited significantly (P
