   • According to Venkatesh (2021)

     Excerpt The present study was designed to investigate the anti-tumor activity of ethanolic leaves extract of Epipremnum aureum & evaluated by in-vitro & in-vivo experimental models. The in-vivo antitumor activity was evaluated against DAL tumour bearing mice by liquid tumour models.

   • According to Ali AE (2018)

     Excerpt The aim of this study is to determine the antimicrobial activity & cytotoxicity of aqueous, ethanolic & acetone extracts of different plant parts of Epipremnum aureum (leaves blades, petioles, stems & roots). The in vitro cytotoxicity of different concentrations of EA acetone root extract was assayed against human liver cancer cell line (HEPG-2) & found that the most effective concentration was at 50 μg/ml & the IC50 value was 36.7 μg/ml.
