First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method of inhibiting cervical cancer cell proliferation, said method comprising contacting said cell with an effective amount of a composition comprising an aqueous protein extract of Clerodendrum viscosum root; wherein the extract comprises a glycoprotein having a molecular weight of about 25 kDa as determined by MALDI-TOF; and induces caspase-3 activation. 2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the glycoprotein comprises a terminal α-D-mannosyl group. 3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the glycoprotein comprises a terminal α-D-glucosyl group. 4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the extract induces apoptosis of cancer cells. 5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises administering a chemotherapeutic agent to the cervical cancer cells. 6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the composition comprises at least one pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. 7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the MALDI-TOF data comprises m/z peaks at about 6.9 kDa, about 9.2 kDa, about 13.5 kDa, and about 25 kDa.
