| Sumario: | The methanol extract of Corypha taliera fruits as well as its n-hexane, carbon tetrachloride,
dichloromethane and aqueous soluble fractions were subjected to screening for antioxidant, antimicrobial
and cytotoxic activities. The methanolic crude extract exhibited the highest antioxidant activity (IC50 19.33
μg/ml as compared to 9.5 μg/ml for the standard agent, BHT). The crude methanol extract and its carbon
tetrachloride, dichloromethane and aqueous soluble fractions showed mild to moderate inhibition of microbial
growth against some of the tested organisms. All the extractives exhibited strong cytotoxic properties,
among which the methanol extract revealed the strongest cytotixicity (LC50 = 0.43 μg/ml). |
