Abstract
In vitro anticancer and antioxidant effects of acetone extract from leaves of Eucommia ulmoides Oliver were investigated. The extraction yield and total phenolic content of the acetone extract were $1.13{\pm}0.033%$ (w/w) and $36.7{\pm}1.96mg$ gallic acid equivalents/g-extract, respectively. $GI_{50}$ values of the acetone extract for human non-small cell lung cancer cells (A549), human colon cancer cells (SNU-C4), human cervical cancer cells (HeLa), and human embryonic lung epithelial cell (L132) were 53.4, 53.8, 88.3, and $153.9{\mu}g/mL$, respectively. The acetone extract effectively inhibited the proliferation of human non-small cell lung cancer (A549) and colon cancer (SNU-C4) cells in a concentration-dependent manner, but was less cytotoxic with human normal cells (L132). $EC_{50}$ values of the acetone extract for free radical scavenging, reducing power, and lipid peroxidation inhibition were about 2,000, 275.8, and $257.9{\mu}g/mL$, respectively. The acetone extract showed a potent reducing power and lipid peroxidation inhibitory activity in a concentration-dependent manner.
