Phytochemicals, Antioxidant and Anticancer Properties of Camellia japonica L. Mistletoe Extracts

The present study aims to investigate the phytochemical profiles, in vitro antioxidant and antiproliferative properties of methanol 70% ethanol extracts Camellia mistletoe. Both were analyzed for contents total flavonoid, carotenoid L-ascorbic acid, such as scavenging capacities (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl, O2- NO), ferrous ion chelating reducing power. MTT assay was used assess against human cancer cell lines. results showed that mistletoe contained higher flavonoids (16237 mg rutin equivalents/100 g) carotenoids (49175 mg/100g) with DPPH (IC50 = 0.6 mg/mL), superoxide nitric oxide 0.5 mg/mL) radical power 1.1 activities than those (p < 0.05). In addition, much activity A375 118.1 μg/mL) HCT116 148.4 cells whereas inhibitory effects MCF7 139.9 μg/mL), Hela 127.1 HepG2 84.2 proliferation data from this suggest is a potential source compounds properties.
