Dose dependant decrease in cell multiplication was observed in the in vitro study. 20mg/ml concentration of 777 Oil was very effective in retarding the cell division to 90% level.

777 Oil at 50 mg/ml and above produced necrosis in the cell line.

The kinetics of cell division in the case of treated vs. untreated cells was 2:8. The nuclear spindle formation is arrested during the treatment of cells with 777 Oil. This phenomenon was studied by mitosis inhibition assay using onion root tip assay. 777 Oil arrest the cell division especially during the mid anaphase to metaphase stage.
