Abstract : There was a mild reduction in clotting time, during in vitro condition. Cytotoxicity evaluation of T. procumbens, carried out using standard in vitro methods (HaCaT - Human keratinocytes cell line studies), indicated dose-dependent cytotoxic effects of the extracts (IC50 value of 142.275µg/mL) and cell viability (non-significant at 6.25 µg/mL, compared to standard ascorbic acid; p < 0.0001 for doses 12.5 to 100 µg/mL). The study reveals antihemolytic action of the methanol extract at low concentration and moderate cytotoxic activity at higher concentrations, suggesting safe and potential applications in anticancer research, although further detailed investigations are required.
