Herbal drugs are widely used in the primary health care system now-a-days and the use is increasing day by day. Thus extensive research to confirm the bioactivity of plant extract is very essential. The aim of this research was to determine the antitumor and cytotoxic actions of solvent-solvent partitioned fraction (n-hexane, ethyl acetate and hydro-methanol) of the methanol extract of root of Tremaorientalis. The antitumor activity of different fractions of plant extract was evaluated by potatodisc bioassay method where Agrobacterium tumefaciens was used to induce tumor on potato disc. On the other hand, the cytotoxic effect was determined by brine shrimp lethality bioassay technique. The ethyl acetate fraction of the plant extract showed 35.51% and 62.89% inhibition of tumor formation in potato disc bioassay method at 50 µg/disc and 100 µg/disc respectively. The hydro-methanol extract showed 37.51% inhibition of tumor formation at 100 µg/disc while at 50 µg/disc no significant inhibition was observed. In contrast, n-hexane fraction did not show any antitumor activity. In cytotoxic study by brine shrimp lethality bioassay, the lethal concentration-50 (LC50) value of the n-hexane, ethyl acetate and hydro-methanol fraction was 1377.03 µg/ml, 11.67 µg/ml and 48.62 µg/ml respectively. Ethyl acetate and hydro-methanol fractions of the solvent-solvent partitioned methanol extract of T. orientalis showed high antitumor and cytotoxic effect. These fractions are highly promising for further exploration to identify the bioactive compounds.

This study was carried out to evaluate the antioxidant, brine shrimp lethality, bioassay and antitumor effects of nhexane, petroleum ether, methanol and chloroform extracts of Annona reticulata leaves. All extracts demonstrated good cupric reducing activity with increasing concentrations keeping methanol extract at the top and n-hexane extract at the second position. The methanol extract was found to have the highest antioxidant capacity 28±26.88 followed by n-hexane 16.95±11.39 and chloroform 12.85±10.32 in the form of mg of ascorbic acid equivalent per gram of crude extract. The methanol extract also showed the highest values of 2.41±0.963 mg of gallic acid equivalent phenolic content and 6.54±4.08 mg of quercetin equivalent flavonoid content per g of crude extract. In the brine shrimp lethality bioassay, LC50 values of methanol, chloroform, petroleum ether, and n-hexane extracts were found to be 1.084?g/ml, 1.096?g/ml, 1.995?g/ml and 3.126 ?g/ml, respectively. These findings suggest that A. reticulata leaves can be a good source of antioxidants and possess significant cytotoxic effect. In a narrow spectrum investigation on antitumor activity of the extracts, we found that the methanol extract inhibited the tumor growing process (control group, chloroform group and petroleum ether group showed significant rise in body weight; i.e., 8% - 14% of initial weight compared to that of methanol group showing a rise of 0.45% - 0.94% of initial weight) and improved ILS (Percentage Increase in Life Span) with increasing doses (Doses of 50mg/kg, 100mg/kg and 200mg/kg showed ILS values of 13.70%, 19.20% and 21.92%, respectively) to some extent when compared with control group and groups receiving other extracts.Bangladesh J Microbiol, Volume 29, Number 2, Dec 2012, pp 70-74
