Abstract | BACKGROUND: MATERIALS AND METHODS: Cytotoxicity of cycloartobiloxanthone was evaluated by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5 diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay against four human lung cancer cell lines (H23, H460, H292 and A549) and their half-maximal inhibitory concentrations (IC50) were assessed. Apoptotic induction in H460 cells was investigated by Hoechst 33342/ propidium iodide (PI) staining assay and protein hallmarks of mitochondria-dependent apoptotic pathway were examined by western blot analysis. RESULTS: CONCLUSION:
