Comparison Of Antioxidant And Anticancer Of The Extracts From Various Habitats Of Selaginella Doederleinii

In this study, aioxidant and anticancer activities of the extracts were evaluated from various habitats of Selaginella doederleinii. The evaluation on antioxidative capacity revealed that the extracts were the highest from Guizhou province using DPPH radical scavenging, ABTS radical scavenging, ferric reducing and FRAP methods, while those of the extracts from Sichuan province were the lowest from different habitats. The evaluation on antitumous effect showed that the extracts from Guizhou province were the highest against A549 cell line and 7721 cell line, while those of the extracts from Sichuan province were the lowest in different habitats. Results obtained revealed that the extracts of S. doederleinii were found to be potentially as a readily valuable bioactive source of natural products. Ethyl acetate extraction of S. doederleinii exhibited as the most potent fraction will be further in-depth study.
