This study was designed to investigate the cytotoxic effect of Cephaxus koreana on human breast cancer cell lines (SCC-1395 and SK-BR-3) us ins MTT(3- [4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) assay. RPMII -1640 medium with $10\%$ FBS and $1\%$ of penicillin-streptomycin was used. The ethanol extrart of Cephaxus koreana after adsoption resin treatment showed higher anticancer activity against SCC- 1395 than the ethanol extract of Cephaxus koreana without adsoption resin treatment. SK-BR-3 showed higher sensitivity activity than SCC-1395 at the same concentration of 20000 ppm.
