The present investigation is carried out to study the invitro cytotoxicity of ethanol extract of Syzygium samarangense leaves on HeLa cell line by using MTT assay. Ethanol extract of S. samarangense showed concentration dependent activity on HeLa cell line with IC50 value of 40.5 μg/ml which shows that ethanol extract of S. samarangense posses significant cytoxicity.Moreover the preliminary phytochemical screening showed the presence of fatty acids, alkaloids, flavonoids, terphenoids, saponins, tannins and steroids which are responsible for its cytotoxicity. There are only a few reports are available for cytotoxicity of ethanol extract of S. samarangense.

Doxorubicin is the most common chemotherapy drug used in cancer therapy. Its usage is associated with various side-effects. In order to overcome the challenges in Doxorubicin administration, the present study has focussed on synthesizing a drug conjugate with biosynthesized gold nanoparticles and doxorubicin. The gold nanoparticles were biosynthesized using green extracts of medicinal plants with potential anticancer activities. The nanoparticle that possesses anticancer activity was conjugated with the drug for a combinatorial effect of the nanoparticles and the drug. The in vitro cytotoxicity was checked in Vero cell line through MTT assay. The in vitro anti proliferative effects were screened against cervical cancer in HeLa cell line. Fluorescence activated cell sorting analysis was carried out to detect the difference between live and dead cell populations. The preliminary confirmation was carried out in UV-VIS spectrophotometer. The morphological characterization was carried out by SEM and stability by Zeta potential. The IC50 of the nanocompounds demonstrated anti-proliferative activity against cervical cancer similar to the chemotherapeutic drug, Doxorubicin; additionally in a much lesser concentration of the drug. The in vitro cytotoxicity exhibited high viability of cells in Vero cell line with minimum viability of 80% in all the tested concentrations. There was a synergistic effect of the nanoparticles along with the drug; thereby an enhanced therapeutic efficiency was achieved. FACS analysis showed 36% of cell death in Dox treated HeLa cells whereas 96% of cell death in Nano-Dox treated HeLa cells. Nano-Dox conjugate has demonstrated high anticancer effects than drug alone Doxorubicin. Further biosynthesized nanomaterials based drug formulation can be developed as a potential strategy in cancer therapy.

Glucomannan extracted from konjac was sulfated (konjac oligo-glucomannan sulfate, OGMS) to show selective anti- coxsackievirus B activity in vitro using Hela cell line as the host cell of coxsackievirus B. OGMS straight inhibited the virus according to different groups and CVB-RNA Replication in Hela cell by RT-PCR. The studies indicated that OGMS mainly acted as blocking virus invading function and its IC50 was 0.1483 mg/mL determined by Reed-Muench method and CVB-RNA Replication was inhibited as well. All these indicated that OGMS had evident in vitro anti- coxsackievirus B activity.
