Mangiferin induces cell death against rhabdomyosarcoma through sustained oxidative stress.

Background: Embryonic rhabdomyosarcoma (RD) is the most prevalent type of cancer among children. The present study aimed to investigate cell death induced by mangiferin in RD cells.

Methods: The Inhibitory concentration (IC) value of mangiferin was determined by an MTT (3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-Diphenyltetrazolium Bromide) assay.
