Abstract

Liver cancer is one of the most malignant diseases that is progressively impacting young people, with a high incidence and fatality rate, and it is the major cause of disease burden in Vietnam. The study aims to investigate the anticancer effects of Oroxylum indicum stem bark extract on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) at various time points and concentrations. HepG2 cells were maintained in a stable condition in DMEM medium supplemented with 5% FBS and 1% antibiotics. The cell viability following exposure to various concentrations of Oroxylum indicum was determined using MTT assay, and the cell morphology was evaluated using the methylene blue staining method. The results showed that the cell viability of HepG2 decreased gradually with increasing concentration, exposure period, and the kind of solvent employed to dissolve Oroxylum indicum. The IC50 values after 24, 48, and 72 hours were 181,8 μg/mL, 166,6 μg/mL and 159,8 μg/mL in water solvent conditions, and 179,9 μg/mL, 159,2 μg/mL và 144,7 μg/mL in the solvent containing 50% DMSO, respectively. The study has demonstrated the potential anticancer effects of Oroxylum indicum in HCC treatment, emphasizing the importance of herbal medicine in cancer treatment in Vietnam
