   • According to Prabhu A (2011)

     Excerpt Prabhu A et al, Anticancer Activity of Friedelin Isolated from Ethanolic Leaf Extract of Cassia tora on HeLa & HSC-1 Cell Lines, Indian J of Applied Res, 3(10):1-4, 2011-Cassia tora, an annual shrub growing in the wild is traditionally well-known for its therapeutic properties against certain human diseases. IC (50) values of ethanolic leaf extract of CT on two human cancer cell lines, HeLa & HSC-1 were determined using Trypan blue exclusion Methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium assays.

   • According to Chen S (n.d.)

     Excerpt The antitumor activity of Cassia tora was investigated in mice that were fed various concentrations of the compound. A high concentration of CT (200 mg/kg b.w.) significantly (P<0.05) increased the levels of tumor necrosis factor-α & interleukin-1β cytokines compared with those of the mice that were treated with 100 & 50 mg/kg b.w.

   • According to Patil S (2018)

     Excerpt The present study is based on a comparative evaluation of preliminary phytochemical screening & in-vitro antimicrobial activity of petroleum ether & ethanolic extracts of Cassia tora seeds & leaves. Each of the extracts was screened for antimicrobial activity against Candida albicans, Staphylococcus aureus, & Escherichia coli.
