Cytotoxicity of MF on human colorectal cancer cell lines and normal human fibroblast cells. A Biosynthesis of hydroxycinnamic acids in plants: (a) p-coumaric acid, (b) caffeic acid, (c) ferulic acid, (d) methylferulate. B Growth inhibition of colorectal cancer cell lines SW1116 and SW837 as well as normal human fibroblast cells of the line CRL1554. C Morphological changes in colorectal cancer cells treated with MF. D Colony formation by untreated and MF-treated cancer cell lines. Data are reported as the means ± SE of three independent experiments, P ≤ 0.05 compared with untreated
