Background and objectives: Black cumin is a herbaceous plant with scientific name Nigella sativa, that contains compounds such as fixed oils, proteins, alkaloids, saponins and essential oils. It has numerous health benefits including antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. In the current study, we have evaluated the cytotoxic effects of compounds isolated from th...

Purpose: To investigate the total polyphenolic and flavonoid contents, antioxidant power and cytotoxic activity of ethanol extracts of Turkish propolis (EEP). Methods: The total polyphenolic and flavonoid contents of EEP were determined by spectrometric methods. Antioxidant power and cytotoxic activity of EEP were evaluated using ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) and MTT assays, respecti...

Women’s breast cancer incidence rate in Indonesia ranks number one with 12 per 100,000 cases, luminal A as the dominant subtype. Currently, chemotherapeutic agents have limitations that lead to inefficiencies therapy, therefore it is necessary develop more effective and efficient chemopreventive agents. Plant secondary metabolites can provide pharmacological effects be used chemoprevention Seco...

Chalcones belong to an important class of flavonoids, which may be prepared by Claisen reaction. They possess a wide range of biological activities and industrial applications. Kostanecki was the first to give the term chalcone and who did pioneering work in the synthesis of naturally coloring compounds. Cytotoxicity against tumour cell lines may be the result of disruption of the cell cycle, i...

Phenolic compounds are widely distributed in the plant kingdom and microorganisms. Cinnamic acid its hydroxylated derivative-ferulic acid, phenolic compounds. Ferulic possesses antioxidant potential, as well anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial properties. It prevents harmful effects of radiation both an ultraviolet absorber a free radical scavenger; it is not cytotoxic. Although ferul...

Aqueous and ethanol extracts of different traditional Malaysian plants (Polygonum minus, Andrographis paniculata, Curcuma xanthorrhiza, Momordica charantia and Strobilanthes crispus) were evaluated for their antioxidant properties, total phenolic content and cytotoxic activity. Antioxidant activity was evaluated by using 1,1-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and ferric reducing antioxidant power...

The current study was assigned to evaluate the total phenol, total flavonoid content (TPC, TFC) and antioxidant properties of extracts from the aerial parts of Scrophularia frigida (S. frigida). Extracts were also tested by preliminary phytochemical screening as well as cytotoxic activity against Artemia salina, MCF-7 (human breast carcinoma) and SW-480 (colon carcinoma) and L-929 (normal) cell...
