Abstract

Qualitative analysis of the extract revealed that it contains Glycosides, Alkaloids, Tannins, Proteins and amino acids, Phytosterol and Steriods, Terpenoids, Saponins. The anticancer activity of ethanolic extract of Cucumis sativus Linn (EECS) was studied on the Various cell line HeLa, HepaG2 by using MTT Assay method. The EECS at dose 62.5 µg, 125 µg,  250 µg, 500 µg, produced a significant anticancer activity against HeLa and HepG2 cancer cell lines.When compare the % cell inhibition of HeLa and HepG2, HepG2 is giving more significant activity than HeLa. It shows that triterpenoids present in extract may be possibly responsible for the anticancer activities.
