Time-dependent cytotoxicity of naphthalene on HepG2 cell lines
Naphthalene is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) commonly found in industrial and household settings. Human exposure to naphthalene can occur through inhalation, ingestion, and dermal contact. The liver is a major target for naphthalene toxicity, and HepG2 cells have been widely used as a model system to study the cytotoxic effects of naphthalene on human cells. The cytotoxic effect of naphthalene on Invitro models (HepG2) cell lines (MTT assay) was studied by exposing the cell lines to varied concentrations of naphthalene. The results of the cytotoxicity exposure of naphthalene suggest a time-dependent variation in hepatocellular carcinoma with LC50 values of 3.8708, 1.7487, 121.75, and 9.5745 for 2, 3, 24, and 48 h respectively. This study has shown that naphthalene is a cytotoxic compound and can induce a concentration and exposure time decline in HepG2 cell lines.
