Abstract

WST-1-based cytotoxicity assay of lawsone (LW) was performed on MCF7, Caco2, BJ and Keratinocyte cells and viabilities were found as over 90 % for all cells. Significant wound healing effect of LW was reported on Keratinocyte cells. Antibacterial and antifungal activities of LW were tested on seven microorganisms with three concentrations and 1,000 µg/disc of LW showed antibacterial effect on Bacillus subtilis. In vitro cell incorporation of radioiodinated LW (131I-LW) was evaluated on same cells. Keratinocyte cells uptake were 5 times more. Consequently, 131I-LW was found usable for researches about especially skin diseases in addition to breast and intestinal cancer.
