“…This study found the strong antioxidant activity using DPPH assay in four different concentrations (25 µg, 50 µg, 75 µg, and 100 µg). The results were similar to the antioxidant activity results that were reported in earlier studies [21] , [22] , [23] , [24] . In addition to this, the reducing power activity directly reflects the antioxidant capacity of the sample [25] , [26] .…”

Natural products are vital in drug discovery and the search for anticancer agents has been significant importance to the researchers for a long time. In the present study, aqueous leaf extract of Pouteria sapota (P.sapota) was evaluated for its cytotoxic activity. The leaf extract was preliminarily screened for antioxidant activity using DPPH method for Radical Scavenging Activity, Hydrogen Peroxide Scavenging Activity and Reducing Power Activity. Further, the aqueous leaf extract was screened for cytotoxic activity against breast cancer cell lines (MCF-7) in vitro. The results of the study showed that aqueous extract of the P.sapota leaf was rich in phytochemicals, antioxidant activity and showed a significant anti-cancer activity against tested MCF-7 cell lines. The present study was designed to evaluate the anticancer potential of P.sapota leaf. The antioxidants present in P.sapota have strong cytotoxic activity suggests that it can be considered for anti-cancer treatment.

Ethnopharmacological relevance An extensive ethnopharmacological survey was carried out in the Peruvian Amazonian district of Loreto with informants of various cultural origins from the surroundings of Iquitos (capital city of Loreto) and from 15 isolated riverine Quechua communities of the Pastaza River. A close attention was paid to the medical context and plant therapy, leading to the selection of 35 plant species (45 extracts). The extracts were tested for antiviral activity against HCV with counting of Huh-7 cellular death in case of toxicity, and cytotoxicity was evaluated in HepG2 cells.

Abiu fruit (Pouteria caimito [Ruiz & Pavon.] Radlk.) is endemic to the Amazonian region of South America, the fruit is also called yellow star apple, blueberry pie fruit and cauje. In this study, the chloroplast genome sequence of P. caimito was assembled and characterized using Illumina sequencing. The whole chloroplast genome of the wild species of abiu fruit is 158,916 bp, composed of four regions: a large single-copy region (88,096 bp) and a small single copy (18,620 bp) region, separated by two inverted repeat regions (26,100 bp), and the GC content is 36.83%. A total of 133 genes were annotated, including 88 that encoded proteins, eight that encoded rRNA genes and 37 that encoded tRNA genes. A maximum likelihood tree was constructed based on the sequences of chloroplast genome, the results showed that the wild species of P. caimito is the most closely related to Pouteria campechiana. This study provided abundant genomics data for the research and development of P. caimito.
