Rutin Isolated from Heliotropium indicum Induces Mitochondria-Mediated Apoptosis and Cytotoxicity in HepG2 and LNCaP Cancer Cells

Key Points

• Cytotoxicity was observed in HepG2 and LNCaP cancer cells with significant apoptosis induction during treatment.
• The study measured apoptosis markers indicating how rutin impacts cancer cell survival and proliferation.
• Assessment using cell viability assays and apoptosis flow cytometry provided insights into the cellular mechanisms affected by rutin.
• These findings suggest that rutin may be a promising candidate for developing cancer treatments, needing further investigation.
