Figure Lengend Snippet: Effects of the different fruit extracts on the viability of the colon cancer cell line HCT116 and the prostate cancer cell line DU145 . DU145 (A) or HCT116 (B) were seeded in a 12-well plate and allowed to grow for 12 h. Then, 500 μg/mL of PBS-resuspended extract derived from the pulp, seeds, and skin of Meliccocus oliviformis , Nephelium lappaceum , and Manilkara zapota were added. 24h later, cell viability was assessed using the MTT assay. Data shown are the average ± SD of three independent experiments. ∗p < 0.05, ∗∗p < 0.01, ∗∗∗p < 0.001, ∗∗∗∗p < 0.0001, one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey's multiple comparison test.
