<title>In Vitro Antioxidant And Cytotoxic Activity Of Leaves And Stem Extracts Of Ecbolium Linneanum </title>
<abstract> lessThan i greaterThan Ecbolium linneanum lessThan /i greaterThan  is used conventionally to treat various diseases like jaundice, rheumatism and also used as anti-inflammatory agents. Pharmacological properties of the leaf and stem of  lessThan i greaterThan E. linneanum lessThan /i greaterThan  were evaluated by antioxidant potential and cytotoxic activity. Ethanol, acetone, dichloromethane and petroleum ether extracts of leaf and stem of lessThan i greaterThan  E. linneanum lessThan /i greaterThan  were prepared to study the total phenolic content, radical scavenging activity, reducing power assay, total antioxidant capacity and cytotoxic by multiple  lessThan i greaterThan in vitro lessThan /i greaterThan  assays. The total phenolic content, analysed by using Folin- Ciocalteau reagent, varied from 33.3 to 129.00 mg/g dry weight. The results showed that leaf and stem extracts of  lessThan i greaterThan E. linneanum lessThan /i greaterThan  possesses antioxidant and free radical scavenging properties. Moreover, cytotoxicity was also examined  lessThan i greaterThan in vitro lessThan /i greaterThan  in HeLa cervical cancer cell line by trypan blue assay and ethanolic extract of leaf exhibited over 80% cell death. This study revealed that the activities observed could be attributed to the presence of some phytochemicals which have been associated with antioxidant and cytotoxic property.</abstract>
