| Summary: | The developing countries like the Philippines mostly rely on traditional
medicines. This medicine involves the use of plant extracts. This study provides
health application of Lipote (Syzygium curanii L.), a native berry in the
Philippines that contributes in the field of science by investigating the secondary
plant metabolites present in roots, stems and seeds and to determine if this plant
samples using BSTA may exhibit cytotoxic activity which may become a potent
drug in curing prevailing disease like cancer. The phytochemical screening
revealed the presence of alkaloids, tannins, flavonoids, saponis, terpenoids and
cardiac glycoside among all the samples of the species studied. The BSTA
determines the LC50 of the samples. All of the sample exhibit cytotoxic activity
against the test species and rank based on the most to the least compared with a
standard drug for anti-cancer. The root n-butanol extract exhibited the most
cytotoxic activity and the stem n-butanol extract exhibited the least cytotoxic
activity. |
