Antioxidant and cytotoxic activities of Dendrobium signatum
Abstract:
Dendrobium, a genus of orchid, was found to possess useful therapeutic activities
such as anticancer, antimicrobial and antioxidant. The phytochemical investigation of the
ethanolic extracts of Dendrobium signatum stems revealed the presence of carbohydrates,
coumarins, alkaloids, phytosterols, flavonoids and phenolic compounds. This study aimed to
evaluate the antioxidant and anticancer activities of the extract. The total phenolic contents of
the extract were assessed by Folin Ciocalteau method using gallic and tannic acids as the
calibration standards. The total phenolic content was found to be 1.23% for gallic acid and
1.03% for tannic acid, respectively. The antioxidant potential was measured by using DPPH
method and the extract showed significant antioxidant activity with an IC50 value of 72
μg/mL. Anticancer study of the extract was performed against two human cancer lines (HeLa
and MCF-7) using MTT assay. The results showed that the extract displayed weak anticancer
activity against MCF-7 cell lines with the IC50 value of 31.75 μg/mL, while it was inactive
against HeLa cells
