In Vitro Effect of Yuza (Citrus junos SIEB ex TANAKA) Extracts on Proliferation of Human Prostate Cancer Cells and Antioxidant Activity

摘要

Effects of 18 kinds of yuza extracts on viability of prostate cancer cells, DU 145 and LN-CaP, were investigated. Chloroform and methanolic extracts of yuza peel exhibited moderate cytotoxicity against both cancer cell lines dose-dependently and alsoshowed antioxidant activity matching on inhibition of cell viability (author's intension not clear). Chloroform extract of yuza peel exhibited highest radical-scavenging activity and cytotoxicity against prostate cancer cells in vitro.
