Morphology analysis by phase-contrast microscopy of MCF-7 cells treated with the bark (A), seed (B), or total fruit (C) extract. Bark extract treatment caused cell shrinking (arrow). The seed extract caused more dramatic changes in MCF-7 cell morphological features, such as cell shrinking (arrow), membrane blebbing (arrowhead), and cell lysis (asterisk). The same alterations were observed in cells treated with the total fruit extract.
