ABSTRACT:
The present study was carried out to assess the cytotoxic and antioxidant activities of methanol, ethyl acetate and n-hexane extract of leaves of Aegle marmelos or Bael. The cytotoxicity assay was carried out by brine shrimp lethality bioassay. The antioxidant properties were assessed by using 1, 1-diphenyl-2- picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH) and nitric oxide (NO) scavenging capacity. The methanol, ethyl acetate and n-hexane extracts showed potential antioxidant activity with IC50 values of 6.629, 4.383 and 3.606 µg/ml respectively and comparison was made with standard ascorbic acid having IC50 value of 2.687µg/ml. The methanol extract depicted potential antioxidant activity with IC50 value of 1.233µg/ml in nitric oxide scavenging capacity assay compared to standard ascorbic acid of 3.712µg/ml. The extracts showed potent cytotoxic activity with LC50 values of 4.482, 5.278 and 5.278 µg/ml respectively whereas the standard vincristine sulfate showed 3.364µg/ml. The three extracts of leaves of A. marmelos possessed significant antioxidant and cytotoxic potentials in this experiment
