ABSTRACT Despite significant advances in drug discovery and the promising antitumor potential of combretastatin A4 (CA-4), which selectively targets rapidly dividing cancer cells, CA-4’s effects on non-dividing human cells, such as peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), remain unclear. The aim of this study is to evaluate the in vitro bioactivity of CA-4 in human PBMCs, focusing on its antigenotoxic and antioxidant properties, while comparing its cytotoxic potency against PBMCs, cancer cell lines (JAR and HeLa), and the normal trophoblast cell line HTR 8/SVneo. Cell viability and metabolic activity were evaluated using the MTT assay.
