In vitro cytotoxic activity of ferula assafoetida on osteosarcoma cell line (Hos crl)
Ferula assafoetida is a herb that has been used traditionally to treat rheumatism, broken bones and stomach illness. The aim of this research is to study the cytotoxicity of F. assafoetida as an anti-cancer agent. Briefly, resin of F. assafoetida was macerated with ethanol or methanol for 3 days. Th...
