- Phenolic compounds and anticancer activity of commercial sugarcane cultivated in Brazil Vanessa G. Alves Alan G. Souza Lucas U.R. Chiavelli Ana L.T.G. Ruiz João E. Carvalho Armando M. Pomini Cleuza C. Silva Multidisciplinaria (Ciencias Naturales y Exactas) sugarcane phenolic compounds Anticancer activity Saccharum officinarum L The cultivation of sugarcane hybrids (X Saccharum officinarum L.) is an important revenue source for the Brazilian economy. Herein it is reported the evaluation of the cytotoxic activity of mid-polarity sugarcane extracts against human cancer cell lines, as well as the isolation of steroids sitosterol, stigmasterol and campesterol, phenolic acids p -hydroxybenzoic, p -hydroxycinnamic, vanillic and ferulic acid, terpenoids α-tocopherol and β-carotene and a novel substance in sugarcane, the flavonoid aglycone tricin (5,7,4-trihydroxy-3,5-dimethoxyflavone). The presence of large amounts of phenolic acids and the flavonoid tricin may explain the cytostatic activity observed for the mid-polarity crude extract and filtrates. 2016 artículo científico 0001-3765 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=32746972004 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=327 Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências application/pdf Academia Brasileira de Ciências Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências (Brasil) Num.3 Vol.88
