Cytotoxicity and apoptotic DNA fragmentation evaluation of ethanolic extract of Phyllanthus niruri L. in Vero and primary feline testicular cells
Phyllanthus niruri or Dukung Anak is native to Southeast Asia, particularly in Malaysia and has been used as traditional preparations and as health supplements. However, previous studies have found that P. niruri can impair the male reproductive functions. With booming population of stray animals wi...

Phyllanthus niruri or Dukung Anak is native to Southeast Asia, particularly in Malaysia and has been used as traditional preparations and as health supplements. However, previous studies have found that P. niruri can impair the male reproductive functions. With booming population of stray animals within the community, a new controlling method that is more affordable and safer must be developed. This study was aimed to explore the safety of P. niruri as a male herbal contraceptive to be used in veterinary medicine as one of the non-surgical sterilisation methods. For the preliminary part of this ongoing research, we have investigated the cytotoxicity activity of P. niruri ethanolic extract on Vero and primary feline testicular cells (FTC) and DNA apoptotic activity in FTC. Phyllanthus niruri extract was prepared using cold maceration method in 50% ethanol.
