Effect of EADs on the viability of MCF-7 cells as determined by MTT assay. Cytotoxic effect of EADs was investigated on (a) breast adenocarcinoma cell line, MCF-7 and (b) non-neoplastic mouse fibroblast cell line, 3 T3. The result indicated that EADs was relatively non-selective towards cancerous cell line. Antiproliferative effect of EADs was compared to reference drug, tamoxifen on MCF-7 cell line (Figure 1c). Data are represented as mean percentage of viable cells in bars ± SD of at least three replicates in three independent tests. An asterisk * indicates statistically significant different from untreated control (P < 0.05).
