Adipic, sebacic acid, and their complexes were subjected to cytotoxicity evaluation against Ehrlich ascites carcinoma cell line by trypan blue assay. Biochemical parameters included activity of glutathione-S-transferase, while reduced glutathione levels and malondialdehyde levels which corresponded to cytotoxicity effects of tested compounds were evaluated. Also, spleen cytotoxicity was evaluated for bio-safety purpose.
