The dichloromethane extract of the roots of H. anisoptera showed cytotoxic activity with IC50 values of 3.1 and 3.9 ug/mL on the COLO205 and KM12 cell lines, respectively. Cytotoxic activity of the dichloromethane extract of the fruits were similar to those of root extract with IC50 values of 5.5 and 4.8 ug/mL on the COLO205 and KM12 cell lines, respectively.
