Anticancer effects of Mahanimbine alkaloid on the human bladder cancer cells are due to the induction of G0/G1 cell cycle arrest, apoptosis and autophagy
Purpose: The main purpose of the current research work was to investigate the anticancer effects of Mahanimbine alkaloid in human bladder cancer cells along with examining its effects on cellular apoptosis, cell cycle phase distribution, and cell autophagy. Methods: Cell viability was examined by WST-1 cell viability assay. Mahanimbine-induced apoptosis was examined by fluorescent microscopy using acridine orange (AO)/ethidium bromide (EB) staining as well as using flow cytometry in combination with annexin-v/propidium iodide (PI) staining.
