More recently &lt;em&gt;Nigella sativa&lt;/em&gt; is also been used as anti cancer drug and protective agent against gamma radiation induced adverse effects in cell lines. &lt;em&gt;Azadirachta indica&lt;/em&gt; commonly called as neem, is a tree belonging to mahogany family meliaceae. &lt;em&gt;Azadirachta indica&lt;/em&gt; is also a traditional medicinal plant that used from a very long time in Indian ayurvedic and it is also been reported to have many beneficial effects including but not limited to anti-cancer and anti-diabetic effects. &lt;strong&gt;Objective:&lt;/strong&gt; Find the IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; values of &lt;em&gt;Nigella sativa&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Azadirachta indica&lt;/em&gt; ethanolic extracts in MDA-MB-231, HCT 116 and SHSY5Y cell lines. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; In this study we selected two cancerous cell lines (MDA-MB-231, HCT 116) and one neuronal cell line (SHSY5Y) and studied the effect of the two plant extracts namely &lt;em&gt;Nigella sativa&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Azadirachta indica&lt;/em&gt; on the cell metabolic activity. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; This study revealed that cancerous cell lines are more prone to the plant extracts than the neuronal cell lines. These results suggest positive clues on how such medicinal plant extracts act against cancerous cells alone while affecting the normal cells to a limited extent. However, further studies are required to find if this effect is due to cytotoxicity, cytostaticity, or anti-adhesive property.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original Article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">192</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sayani Banerjee&lt;sup&gt;1#&lt;/sup&gt;, Shefali Pandey&lt;sup&gt;1#&lt;/sup&gt;, Purbasha Mukherjee&lt;sup&gt;1#&lt;/sup&gt;, Afia Sayeed&lt;sup&gt;1#&lt;/sup&gt;, Apoorva Vasant Pandurangi&lt;sup&gt;1#&lt;/sup&gt;, Shinomol George&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;, Sahabudeen Sheik Mohideen&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;* &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
