The crude methanol extract of the stem bark of
Limonia acidissima L. and its different organic
soluble partitionates were screened for cytotoxic and
antioxidant activities. The brine shrimp lethality
bioassay was used to evaluate the cytotoxicity. The
petroleum ether soluble fraction (PESF) of the
methanolic extract exhibited strong cytotoxic activity
(LC50 = 2.0779 µg/ml). On the other hands
chloroform soluble fraction of the methanolic extract
showed the highest free radical scavenging activity
with IC50 value 18.80 µg/ml.
