Antiproliferative effect of Solanum nigrum L. water extract on breast can-cer cells: potential roles of apoptosis and oxidative stress.

Solanum nigrum water extract (SNWE) showed significant anticancer effects against MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells by inducing apoptotic cell death. This suggests that SNWE could be a potential non-toxic treatment option for breast cancer, but more research is needed.
