Colon cancer is one disease that many result in death. The of colon cancer cure through surgery chemotherapy and radiotherapy are generally not able to provide effective results. This caused many found ways to use alternative medicine among other materials from nature. One of these natural substances are quercetin. Quercetin is a flavonoid compounds are known to have anticancer effects. This study aimed to determine the effect of cytotoxic and antiproliferatif quercetin against colon cancer WiDr cells. Quercetin cytotoxic test was carried out using MTT method. Test results showed that the cytotoxic IC50 of quercetin against WiDr cells was 1046 μM. WiDr cell proliferation kinetics observation that quercetin treated using the method of direct calculation done at 0, 24, 48 and 72. In the observation of cell morphology, after the painting shows the phenomenon of apoptosis in colon cancer cell WiDr. The results showed that quercetin has cytotoxic and antiproliferative effects on cancer cells WiDr.
