Purpose: To investigate the cytotoxicity and cell cycle analysis of aqueous extract of aerial parts of Centella asiatica on colorectal (HCT116) cancer cell lines.
Approach: Centella asiatica extract was subjected to preliminary phytochemical screening and in the next stage, brine shrimp lethality assay was carried out.MTT assay was also performed on colorectal cancer cell lines to assess the in vitro cytotoxicity activity of the plant extract.Then, cell cycle arrest was also done as a part of investigation using Flow cytometry.
Findings: Phytochemical screening revealed the presence of various vital phytoconstituents like saponins, glycosides, tannins, triterpenoids, flavonoids and polyphenols . Aqueous extract of the aerial parts of Centella asiatica markedly increases the mortality in brine shrimp lethality assay. Further, the extract exhibited cytotoxicity on human colorectal cancer cell lines and cell cycle arrest at G0/G1 phase.
Originality: This research work throws light into the usage of the plant as an alternative to conventional chemotherapy of cancer. In vitro brine shrimp lethality assay, cytotoxicity and cell cycle analysis were all performed for the first time using aqueous extract of Centella asiatica aerial parts.
Conclusion: It can be concluded that the aqueous extract of aerial parts of Centella asiatica showed antioxidant&anticancer activities and even arrested the cell cycle at G0/G1 phase.

Purpose: Traditional herbal plants have been used ever since human civilization started for treating various notable disorders. Semecarpus anacardium (SA) commonly called as Bhilwa is an ancient plant known as half physician for its ability to cure almost half of the known disorders and is available in form of various formulations in Ayurveda and siddha system of medicine. In the current review, complete pharmacological utility of the plant along with its geographical location, chemical constituents, its role in apoptosis and various other uses will be discussed.
Approach: Information from the published research article available from Pubmed, google scholar and othersources were used in the preparation of this review article.
Finding: SA has been reported to be a potential plant for the cure of diseases such as diabetes, myocardial infraction, asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, piles, cancer of liver, oesophagus, breast, mouth etc. It is a rich source of antioxidant having high free radical scavenging effect and is useful in treating heart diseases, CNS disorders and in cancer such as hepatocellular carcinoma, mammary carcinoma etc.
Conclusion: SA can be used as an alternative therapy for various ailments however the precise mechanism underlying its various effects has not been determined fully. The phyto constituents present in this plant need to be isolated and can be developed into phyto-pharmaceuticals.
