CYTOTOXIC ACTIVITY OF 4H–CHROMENES ON COLO 205 HUMAN COLON ADENOCARCINOMA CELL LINE
Main Article Content
Abstract
H-chromenes are synthetic benzopyran derivatives which have various pharmacological activities. This study aimed to investigate and compare the cytotoxic activity of three selected 4H-chromenes (compound I, II, and III) against human colon adenocarcinoma cell line (COLO 205) using MTT assay. Cells were treated with increasing concentrations of compound I, II, and III from 20 to 200 µM and incubated for 24 hours. The results were presented as the percentage of viable cells compared to control (untreated cells). At the concentration from 20 to 200 µM, compound I, II and III showed a significant decline in % mean viability on COLO 205 cells from 85.63% to 2.01%, 89.18% to 1.31%, and 68.03 % to 7.42%, respectively. Compound I, II and III significantly exhibited cytotoxic activity against COLO 205 cells with IC50 of 26, 30, and 150 μM, respectively.
