| Summary: | In this study, anti-tumor promoting activity against breast cancer cells (MCF7) of rice
and palm oil industrial wastes crude extract was investigated. Methanol and water
extracts of both agriculture industrial wastes were tested using MTT assay. The most
active extract for inhibition of the proliferation of breast cancer cell was aqueous extract
of rice mixture wastes. None of the palm oil industrial wastes showed significant antitumor
promoting activity except for the methanolic extract of palm leaf waste. With
respect to these results, several of the agriculture industrial wastes could be studied
further for their potential to treat breast cancer cells. |
