The above plants were extracted with methanol using a soxhlet apparatus. These various extracts were evaluated in vitro using cancer cell lines like HL-60, Calu-6 and Colo-205. MTT, wound healing and cell cycle analysis in vitro assays were performed. The results revealed that the plants Pavonia odorata and Wrightia tinctoria possessed cytotoxic activity and antiproliferating activity.
