The measurement done by MTT assay and statistial assesment done by spss19 software. Our investigation based on two mediam (invitro and invivo) to approve our results.
Results: In RPMI medium the killing with three herbal drugs were seen and the decrease of Absorbance were seen by MTT assay. The means of OD were 0.05 to 0.16 in presence of herbal drugs but the means of OD were 0.9 to 2.3 in absence of herbal drugs.
