Although reports on the efficacy of homeopathic medicines in animal models are limited,
there are even fewer reports on the in vitro action of these dynamized preparations. We have
evaluated the cytotoxic activity of 30C and 200C potencies of ten dynamized medicines
against Dalton′ s Lymphoma Ascites, Ehrlich′ s Ascites Carcinoma, lung fibroblast (L929)
and Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cell lines and compared activity with their mother

Although reports on the efficacy of homeopathic medicines in animal models are limited, there are even fewer reports on the in vitro action of these dynamized preparations. We have evaluated the cytotoxic activity of 30C and 200C potencies of ten dynamized medicines against Dalton′s Lymphoma Ascites, Ehrlich′s Ascites Carcinoma, lung fibroblast (L929) and Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cell lines and compared activity with their mother tinctures during short‐term and long‐term cell culture. The effect of dynamized medicines to induce apoptosis was also evaluated and we studied how dynamized medicines affected genes expressed during apoptosis. Mother tinctures as well as some dynamized medicines showed significant cytotoxicity to cells during short and long‐term incubation. Potentiated alcohol control did not produce any cytotoxicity at concentrations studied. The dynamized medicines were found to inhibit CHO cell colony formation and thymidine uptake in L929 cells and those of Thuja, Hydrastis and Carcinosinum were found to induce apoptosis in DLA cells. Moreover, dynamized Carcinosinum was found to induce the expression of p53 while dynamized Thuja produced characteristic laddering pattern in agarose gel electrophoresis of DNA. These results indicate that dynamized medicines possess cytotoxic as well as apoptosis‐inducing properties.
