Mohammed Aktar Sayeed, Mohammad Mamun Ur Rashid, Md. Rifahul Abrar Taiseer

In this study, the comparative cytotoxic potential of Citrus limetta, Paederia foetida leaves Cuscuta reflexa plant were investigated. The Brine shrimp lethality bioassay was used to evaluate cytotoxicity. These extracts showed remarkable cytotoxic activity, LC50 value of these extracts were 74.814 μg/ml, 42.57μg/ml, 24.013μg/ml respectively compared to vincristine sulphate, a reference drug, LC50 0.52 μg /ml. These leaves extracts of have excellent cytotoxic potential and comparative study is demonastrated here with figures and tables. Among all three extracts Cuscuta reflexa has more cytotoxic potential than both.
