Evaluation of the Cytotoxic Effects of Ultrasonic Extracts of Tribulus Terrestris L. on MCF-7 Cell Line by MTT Assay

People, especially those living in rural environments and who have recently been dissatisfied with traditional medicine, use medicinal plants for their therapeutic effects. In this study, ethanol, ethyl acetate methanol extracts of Tribulus terrestris L. plant, which is used by local people as one these Kars province (Turkey), were obtained ultrasound assisted extraction method. The cytotoxic effects the on MCF-7 breast cancer cells concentration range 10-1000 ppm at 24 h exposure investigated MTT method, a colorimetric T. ethanol 1000 caused moderate effect cells. It was determined that ethanolic 10-500 cell proliferation.
