Apigenin, allicin, chrysin and sulforaphane were investigated for their comparative cytotoxic abilities in vitro against four human cancer cell lines: HePG-2 hepatocellular carcinoma, MCF-7 breast cancer cells, HeP-2 laryngeal carcinoma and HCT-116 colorectal carcinoma. In vitro cytotoxicity was evaluated by MTT assay. These antioxidants, especially apigenin and allicin exhibited potent cytotoxic effects on the four tested tumor cell lines.
