AIM:Ethylacetate extract of Alpinia purpurata was evaluated for its potential in vitro antioxidant and antican-cer activity.METHODS:The antioxidant activity was evaluated by 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl(DPPH) free radical scav-enging method,hydroxyl radical activity,superoxide radical scavenging activity,nitric oxide radical scavenging activity,hy-drogen peroxide radical scavenging activity and reducing power activity.The viability of OAW42 cells was evaluated by MTT assay.RESULTS:A.purpurata exhibited potential antioxidant activity with a concentration-dependent manner.The extract showed potential anticancer activity at the 48th hour with IC50 of 130.20 μg·mL·1 and exhibited a dose-dependent decrease in cell count for all the concentrations tested.CONCLUSION:The results suggested that long term consumption of A.purpurata exhibited antioxidant and anticancer activity and could be further exploited for their anticancer properties.
