Evaluation of Toxicity of the Bioactive Components from the Stem of Buyo (Piper betle L.) Extracts

Extracts of Buyo (Piper betle L) were subjected to a bioscreening study detect cytotoxicity activity by the brine shrimp lethality bioassay. Specifically, researchers opted use stem part plant since there has been no about its cytotoxic activity. The result obtained for ethanol extract was promising. concluded that is most active in activity, with value 205.3525, against other extracts. This can be regarded as promising candidate plant-derived antitumor or anticancer compound. Also, it suggested extracts should tests and further experimentations elaborate on essential biological properties.
