Chemotherapeutic agents for cancer are highly toxic to healthy tissues and hence alternative medicine avenues are widely researched. Majority of the recent studies on alternative medicine suggested thatAmoora rohitukapossesses considerable antitumor and antibacterial properties. In this work,rohitukaandchittagonga, fractionated with petroleum ether, dichloromethane, and ethanol, were explored for their anticancer potential against two breast cancer (MCF-7 and HTB-126) and three pancreatic cancer (Panc-1, Mia-Paca2, and Capan1). The human foreskin fibroblast, Hs68, was also included. Cytotoxicity of each extract was analyzed using the MTT assay and label-free photonic crystal biosensor assay. A concentration series of each extract was performed on the six cell lines. For MCF-7 cancer cells, thechittagonga(Pet-Ether and CH2Cl2) androhituka(Pet-Ether) extracts induced cytotoxicity; thechittagonga(EtoAC) androhituka(MeOH) extracts did not induce cytotoxicity. For HTB126, Panc-1, Mia-Paca2, and Capan-1 cancer cells, only thechittagongaCH2Cl2extract showed a significant cytotoxic effect. The extracts were not cytotoxic to normal fibroblast Hs68 cells, which may be correlated to the specificity ofAmooraextracts in targeting cancerous cells. Based on these results, further examination of the potential anticancer propertiesAmooraspecies and the identification of the active ingredients of these extracts is warranted.
