Abstract
Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the invitro anti oxidant potential and anticancer efficacy of Thayiriya vendhan chendhuram -TVC.
Methods: We have evaluated scientifically TVC for its anti cancer efficacy in human breast adenocarcinoma through in vitro cell lines studies. The viability of cells was evaluated by direct observation of cells by Inverted phase contrast microscope and followed by MTT assay method .In this study, anti oxidant potential of TVC was also evaluated with gallic acid as comparison.
Results and Conclusion: From the result of the present in-vitro study it was concluded that the test drug TVC possess considerable anti-oxidant and anti-cancer activity. The study is the first step in the scientific validation of TVC for anti oxidant and anticancer potential and in use against breast adenocarcinoma.
Keywords: Breast cancer, Siddha oncology, Anti oxidant drug, Thayiriya vendhan chendhuram, herbo metallic drug.
