In Vitro Use Guide
MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer cells (10(5) cells/ml) were exposed to varying concentrations of ethyl acetate vapor (containing 0.02 M, 0.026 M, 0.03 M, 0.034 M, 0.04 M, 0.05 M, 0.1 M, 0.2 M, and 0.5 M of the compound) for 48 hours. It was found that ethyl acetate at a concentration of 0.026 M was effective in causing considerable cytotoxicity in breast cancer cells
