In Vitro	Lactucin shows moderate inhibitory activity against LPS-induced nitric oxide (NO) production in RAW 264.7 macrophages[1]. Lactucin (0-100 µM, 24 and 48 h) induces cytotoxic effects in HL-60 cells in a dose– and time-dependent manner[3]. Lactucin (0-100 µM, 48 h) induces apoptosis and sub-G1 cell cycle arrest in HL-60 cells[3]. Lactucin (10 μg/mL, 48 h) completely prevents Plasmodium falciparum parasitemia[4]. Cell Viability Assay[3] Cell Line: HL-60 Concentration: 0, 5, 25, 50, and 100 µM Incubation Time: 24 and 48 h Result: Induced significant cytotoxic effects in these cancer cells in a dose– and time-dependent manner. Apoptosis Analysis[3] Cell Line: HL-60 Concentration: 0, 5, 50 and 100 µM Incubation Time: 48 h Result: Induced apoptosis. Swelling of the mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) was detected in the cells. Cell Cycle Analysis[3] Cell Line: HL-60 Concentration: 0, 5, 50 and 100 µM Incubation Time: 48 h Result: Induced sub-G1 cell cycle arrest.
In Vivo	Lactucin (15 and 30 mg/kg; i.p.; once) decreases the spontaneous locomotor activity and shows analgesic properties in mice[2]. Animal Model: Male Albino-Swiss mice (18-24 g)[2] Dosage: 15 and 30 mg/kg Administration: Intraperitoneal injection, once Result: Decreased the spontaneous locomotor activity and showed analgesic properties in the hot plate test.
