Abstract

Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women and the second leading cause of cancer deaths in women today. The madagascar prewinkle (Catharanthus roseus [L] G.Don), mango parasite (Dendropthoe petandra L.), white saffron (Curcuma mangga Val), betel leaves (Piper betle L.) have been reported to exhibit antioxidant,  antimutation and cytotoxic that suggested the chemopreventive potential  against various cancer including breast cancer. This research was conducted to investigate  cytotoxic activity on breast cancer cell line T47D, antioxidant activity of C. roseus, D. petandra, C. mangga and P. betle water extracts. The cytotoxic potency was determined with MTS (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-5-(3- carboxymethoxyphenyl)-2-(4-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium) assay. The antioxidant activities were determined  by using in vitro assay  of  2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH)  scavenging activity. C. roseus water extract  was able to inhibit T47D cell proliferation with IC50 4%, D. petandra  with IC50 1%, C. mangga with IC50  14% and P. betle  with IC50 3%. The highest DPPH scavenging activity of  C. roseus was 71.87%, D. petandra was 75.11%, C. mangga was 38.45% and  P. betle water extract  was  83%. We suggest that D. petandra, P. betle and C. roseus water extract   have a potential cytotoxic and antioxidant activities compared with C. mangga water extract.
