Anticancer Evaluation of Plants from Indonesian Tropical Rain Forests

Jamilah Abbas

Abstract

The anticancer activities of medicinal plants from Indonesia’s tropical rainforests were investigated against Hela cell line. Maytenfoliol from leaves of Calophyllumtetrapterum 3-epibetulinic acid from stem bark of C. tomentosum Wight and D.A-friedo-oleanan-3-on from stem bark of C. moonii showed anticancer activity. The compound 3-epibetulinic acid showed the more potent anticancer activity than maytenfoliol and D.A-friedo-oleanan-3- with thean IC50 value were 3.17 μg/mL, 4.89 μg/mL and 5.63 μg/mL, respectively.

Keywords: Anticancer evaluation, Hela cell line, Calophyllumtetrapterum. C. tomentosum Wight and C. moonii
