Bioactivity of the Murex Homeopathic Remedy and of Extracts from an Australian Muricid Mollusc against Human Cancer Cells
Figure 3
Percent cell viability of a range of solid and haemopoietic cell lines exposed for 4 h to varying concentrations of (a) crude extract; (b) semi-purified fraction (concentrating the tyrindoleninone compound) from D. orbita and (c) the Murex remedy. Cell viability is determined by the percent absorbance at 490 nm relative to solvent controls, based on the conversion of a tetrazolium salt to formazan in the MTS cell proliferation assay. Cells were treated in triplicate and the assay repeated on separate occasions, shown as mean ± SE of repeat experiments.
