Evaluating the Efficacy of Benincasa Hispida Seed Extract in Inhibiting the Proliferation of a Human Triple Negative Breast Cancer Cell Line.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the possible therapeutic benefits of Benincasa hispida extract as an adjunctive treatment for breast cancer. While previous studies have highlighted the anticancer effects of various components of Benincasa hispida, including its fruit and leaves, there remains a paucity of research concerning the application of Benincasa hispida seeds in the context of cancer treatment, especially breast cancer.

Methods: The cytotoxic impact of Benincasa hispida on breast cancer cell lines was assessed via in-vitro analysis employing the MTT assay.
