- Abstract
The article reports a study which was conducted to evaluate the antioxidant capacity and antiproliferative activity of Smilax myosotiflora (SM) tuber. The results showed that the SM tuber contained high total phenolic content and possessed good antioxidant activity by superoxide scavenging and DPPH radicals. No anticancer activity was observed on all cancer cells tested. However, SM may have potential as a medicinal plant in providing dietary elements useful in the control of diseases.
