The main ingredient of the product is soy that is rich in flavonoids, especially isoflavones. The formulation was tested for its efficacy as well as the determination of main ingredients with proliferation, viability, apoptosis assays and analytical techniques. Low concentrations of genistein and daidzein present in Haelan 951 were confirmed with HPLC, LC-MS and NMR. Cytotoxic effect against MCF7 cell line was observed with MTT, SRB and CVE at the maximum concentration (32%) after 48h of incubation. 8% Haelan 951 had apoptotic effect on all cancer cell lines tested. The formulation of the product could lead to false positive results as it was slightly soluble in all the solvents used and the viscosity was visually observed to be quite high.Read More
