Article Title: Punicalagin Inhibits the Growth and Proliferation of Ovarian Epithelial Adenocarcinoma Cells Via Apoptosis and Autophagic Cell Death
doi: 10.1002/jbt.70908
Figure Lengend Snippet: Punicalagin dose‐dependently decreases the growth of ovarian cancer cells. The ovarian cancer cell lines, OVCAR‐3 and SKOV‐3, were treated with PCG (from 6.25 to 200 µM) for 24, 48, and 72 h. Cell proliferation was detected by the WST assay. PCG caused a decrease in the growth of (A–C) OVCAR 3 cells and (D–F) SKOV‐3 cells with varying IC 50 s. IC 50 dose concentrations are presented in (G–I) for OVCAR‐3 cells and (J–L) SKOV‐3 cells. Following the statistical analysis, the data in the graphs have been derived from at least three repeated experiments and shown as the mean ± SD. * p ≤ 0.05 compared to control.
