TUNEL assay resulted in 29.97±3.03% apoptotic cells and caspase apoptotic assay showed 11.73±2.05% mid-apoptotic cells and 16.03±2.45% late apoptotic cells. The caspase apoptotic assay indicated an involvement of caspase enzyme family mediation. Two fractions were cytotoxic. Fraction 2 caused a G2/M arrest while fraction 3 induced apoptosis. These differences are likely a result of the polarity of the triterpenoids
