Abstract

The study aimed to investigate the phytochemical contents, antioxidant and antiproliferative activity of 80% methanol extract of Lepidozia borneensis.The total phenolic and total flavonoid contents were analysed using Folin-Ciocalteu and aluminium chloride colorimetric methods. Antioxidant properties were evaluated by using FRAP, ABTS, and DPPH assays while the effects of L. borneensis on the proliferation ofMCF-7 cell line were evaluated by usingMTT assay.The results showed that the total phenolic and flavonoid contents were 12.42 ± 0.47mg GAE/g and 9.36 ± 1.29mg CE/g, respectively. The GC-MS analysis revealed the presence of at least 35 compounds.The extract was found to induce cytotoxicity against MCF-7 cell line with IC50 value of 47.33 ± 7.37
