contents <p>ABSTRACT:<br>Background: Belamcanda chinensis, commonly known as the leopardlily, is a medicinal<br>plant traditionally used for its therapeutic properties. The purpose of this study was to examine<br>the phytochemical makeup and cytotoxic potential of an extract from Belamcanda chinensis<br>leaves. Methods: To find the presence of bioactive substances, phytochemical screening was<br>done. To characterise the ethyl acetate fraction, high-resolution liquid chromatography-mass<br>spectrometry (HR-LCMS) was employed. The MTT assay was used to evaluate in vitro<br>cytotoxicity at doses of 125, 250, 500, and 1000 μg/ml using the MCF-7 breast cancer cell line.<br>The IC50 values and % cytotoxicity were computed. Results: A total ash content of 4.63±0.53%<br>w/w was found by the physico-chemical analysis, with a high water soluble ash value of<br>24.21±0.783% w/w, indicating considerable mineral contents. The presence of alkaloids,<br>flavonoids, tannins, saponins, and glycosides was verified by phytochemical screening.<br>Compounds with significant biological activity were found by HR-LCMS analysis, including<br>Cerberoside and Sanguisorbin E. The MTT assay showed that both ethanolic (ET-01) and ethyl<br>acetate (EA-02) extracts exhibited significant cytotoxicity against MCF-7cells. ET-01 had an<br>IC50 value of 336.00μg/ml with 73.43% cytotoxicity at 1000μg/ml, while EA-02 had an IC50<br>value of 348.83μg/ml with 78.33% cytotoxicity at the same concentration. Conclusion: The<br>study demonstrates that Belamcanda chinensis leaves extract contains a rich array of bioactive<br>compounds with significant cytotoxic effects against breast cancer cells. These findings support<br>its potential use in developing new anticancer agents and warrant further investigation into its<br>therapeutic applications.</p>
