Assessment of in vitro antioxidant and cytotoxic potentials of ethanol extract of Nymphaea nauchali

Objective: The present study was designed to evaluate ethanol extract of Nymphaea nauchali for anticancer against breast cancer cells and also determine its antioxidant properties.
 Methods: prepared using sox-let apparatus. evaluated in-vitro potentials human MCF-7 cell lines by MTT assay concentration the required inhibit 50% growth (IC50) recorded. To properties extract, Superoxide scavenging, Lipid peroxidation DPPH methods were used IC50 values noted.
 Results: In study, has shown property exhibiting significant MCF 7 cells. in activity comparable standard drug ascorbic acid.
 Conclusion: results obtained from research work suggested that possess vitro cytotoxic have Keywords: Anticancer activity, nauchali, value, activity.
