Bioactive Composition, Antioxidant, And Cytotoxic Activities of Rheum Ribes Extracts

The aim of the study is to evaluate ethanol extract Rheum ribes root (RTE), as well and young shoots (RYSE), for its chemical composition, antioxidant properties cytotoxic effects. Total polyphenols (TPC), total flavonoid (TFC), radical scavenging activity (DPPH), ferric reducing power (FRAP) extracts were determined using colorimetric methods. Mineral contents vitamin values samples by ICP-MS HPLC, respectively. effect was on different cells XTT assay. effects RTE RYSE cancer evaluated with regard apoptosis. According results, mineral contents, vitamine A C very high in both samples. Ethanolic shoot exhibited a selective all compared WI-38 cells, IC50 between 26.10 54.81 μg/mL. induced apoptosis MCF-7 cells. ethanolic has effective activity. More research needed determine mechanisms
