α-Amylase is a hydrolase enzyme ,and it catalyses the hydrolysis of internal α-1, 4-glycosidic linkages in starch to yield products like glucose and maltose.

JC-1 is a fluorescent lipophilic carbocyanine dye. It has been used to measure mitochondrial membrane potential.?JC 1 can be used in a probe for measuring mitochondrial membrane potential by flow cytometry. JC-1 fluorescence is usually excited by the 488?nm laser wavelength common in flow cytometers. JC-1 (2.5?μM) exposed to murine L1210 lymphoblasts, can be detected the presence of both cytoplasmic JC-1 monomer and mitochondrial J-aggregates in these cells.

Methyl nomilinate from citrus can modulate cell cycle regulators to induce cytotoxicity in human colon cancer (SW480) cells in vitro.
