Abstract
⺠The anticancer activity of Hibiscus sabdariffa leaf extract (HLE) in vitro was examined. ⺠HLE is rich in ellagic acid. ⺠The strongest potency of HLE on the cytotoxicity was towards LNCaP cells. ⺠Effect of HLE in the cells is mediated via intrinsic and extrinsic apoptotic pathways. ⺠Our data present the first evidence of HLE as an apoptosis inducer in LNCaP cells.
