Synergistic anticancer effects of the extracts from P.evecta were performed using the ATR/FTIR spectroscopy.Results:The result showed that the EW-L showed higher cytotoxicity and apoptosis induction in HepG2 cells than its fractionated extracts.The hexane extract exhibited higher cytotoxicity and apoptosis induction than the water extracts,but less than the EW-L. The combined water and hexane extracts apparently increased cytotoxicity and apoptosis induction.The%apoptotic cells induced by the extract mixture were increased about 2-fold compared to the single hexane extract Conclusions:The polar extract fraction is necessary for the anticancer activity of the non-polar extract fraction.The ATR/FT-IR spectra illustrates the physical interaction among the constituents in the extract mixture and reveals the presence of polyphenolic constituents in the EW-L,which might play a role for the synergistic anticancer effect.展开更多
