1. Fig. 1. Neem induces caspase-3 activation and cell death in multiple cancer cell types. ( A ) HCT116 cells were treated with neem for 0, 12, 24 and 36h, and the percentage of cell death was determined. ( B ) LNCaP, PPC1 and MDA cells were treated with neem for 36h and the percentage of cell death (mean ± SD) was determined. ( C ) HCT116 and PPC1 cells were treated with neem for 0, 12, 24 and 36h and equal amounts of protein were subjected to caspase-3 activity measurements (i.e., DEVDase activity). Neem, neem oil; HCT-116, HCT116. Data are mean ± SD, n = 3; * P < 0.01.
