Abstract
Many studies have been widely carried out to find out new compound having anti-cancer activity from animals and plants. Some plants have been reported to have anti-lancer effects. However, the anti-cancer effect of edible plants were seldomly evaluated. Therefore we investigated the anticancer effects of edible plants (10 samples) easily available around us by measuring number of survival cancer cells after treatment with direct cell counting and MTT analysis, and by examining the morphological change under the electromicroscope. Of the 10 samples tested, Equisetum arvense L., Lactuca dentata Mokino. var. faviflora Makino. showed moderate anti-cancer effects even at the concentration of 10 $\mul/ml$ against MCF-7 adenocarcinoma cell line. Of them, Capsicum annuum L. had most potent anti-cancer activity against MCF-7 adenocarcinoma cell line showing proliferation inhibited, morphological change and apoptosis at the concentration of 2 $\mul/ml$.
