Abstract
Punica granatum L is a deciduous shrub and many researchers studied the medicinal properties like anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory. It has great nutritional values and numerous health benefits and it has been used in natural and holistic medicine to treat sore throats, coughs, urinary infections, digestive disorders, skin disorders, arthritis. Murraya koenigii, L.is a medicinally important herb of Indian origin, and very popularly used in Indian foods are the daily basis. Many Previous studies on the leaves, roots, and bark of this plant are reported rich sources of carbazole alkaloids, which produce potent biological activities and pharmacological activities like antioxidant, antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective activities. In present work studied the anti-cancer activity of these two plant extracts with MCF7, HeLa, CaCO2, HepG2 and A549 cell lines by MTT assay. Punica granatum not much shows the anticancer activity with these five cell lines but murraya koenigii shows good anticancer activity in HeLa cell lines with IC50 of 62.29±0.317µg/ml followed by A549 (71.59±0.348), MCF7 (75.58±0.458), CaCO2 (82.55±0.462) and HepG2 (98.37±0.517) respectively.
