Kirganelia reticulata have been proven to have cytotoxic activities. The aim of this study is to demonstrate the anti-proliferative activity of the methanolic extract of K. reticulata on Human Embryonic Kidney cells (HEK-293). Changes in cellular morphology of HEK-293 cells were evident at higher concentration and with increase in time, which was supported by our experimental data. Our preliminary data suggest that K. reticulata methanolic extract has anti-proliferative activity.
Key words: Kirganelia reticulata, HEK-293, Cell morphology, Anti-Proliferative
