Cytotoxic Activity of Stem Bark Extracts from Canarium odontophyllum Miq (Dabai) against Human Colorectal Carcinoma HCT 116 Cell Line

Abstract: The preliminary study is aimed at evaluating the cytotoxic activity of crude extracts from the stem bark of Canarium odontophyllum against colorectal carcinoma cell HCT 116. Result of the extraction yield showed that distilled water produced the highest yield (10.58%) followed by methanol (6.55%) whereas acetone extracted the lowest yield (4.58%) from C. odontophyllum stem bark. Phytochemical screening test revealed the presence of terpenoid, flavonoid, tannin, saponin and phenolic compound in all the stem bar… Show more

“…Out of all three extracts, acetone extract exhibited the most potent cytotoxic activity with a significantly higher cytotoxic effect than aqueous extract but the cytotoxicity between acetone and methanol extract showed no significant difference. This finding correlates with the previous study which reported that acetone extract from the stem bark of C. odontophyllum [ 12 ] displayed the highest cytotoxic effect against HCT 116 cells and was also in agreement with acetone extract from the leaves of C. odontophyllum [ 11 ]. The cytotoxic activity of a plant against cancer cells is based on their phytochemical properties [ 22 ].…”

“…The cytotoxic activity of a plant against cancer cells is based on their phytochemical properties [ 22 ]. The phytochemical screening of aqueous, methanol and acetone extracts from stem bark of C. odontophyllum showed that all three extracts contain flavonoid, saponin, tannin, terpenoid and phenolic compounds [ 12 ]. The potent cytotoxic effect exerted by acetone extract may be caused by non-polar terpenoid compound.…”

“… 9 The stem bark of this tree is gray or yellowish from the outside while the inside is pink with a soft texture and produces a fragrant aroma. 10 , 11 Typically, the harvesting season runs from November until January. Because of the plant’s rapid respiration rate, its fruits have a short shelf life.…”

“…The aqueous extract has been shown to reduce sugar level in diabetic rat (Saari et al, 2017). Apart from its leaf, study on stem bark and fruit of Canarium odontophyllum tree has also been conducted and have been proven as anti-oxidant (Shakirin et al, 2010), anti-cancer agent (Basri et al, 2014a), anti-atherosclerotic (Shakirin et al, 2012), anti-microbial and anti-yeast (Basri et al, 2014b). However, studies on Canarium odontophyllum leave against Leptospira bacteria have not been conducted yet.…”
