Abstract

In the present study, we were evaluated cytotoxic effects of epigallocatechin gallate in human skin melanoma cells such as HTB-69. The light microscopic study showed morphological changes of the treated cells. Disruptions in cell organelles were determined by colorimetric methods; 3-(4,5-dimethyl thiazol-2-yl)-2,5diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay, neutral red (NR) assay and sulforhodamine B protein (SRB) assay. These results suggest that epigallocatechin gallate retains a potential antitumor activity.

인체 피부흑색종 세포에 대한 epigallocatechin gallate의 세포독성작용을 평가하고, 광학현미경적 관찰을 실시하여 인체 피부흑색종 세포의 형태학적인 변화를 볼 수 있었다. 세포독성은 비색정량분석법, NR정량분석법과 SRB정량분석법으로 측정하였다. 이런 결과는 epigallocatechin gallate에 항암활성을 보여준다.
