Experimental analysis reveals antioxidant and cytotoxic properties in extracts from mangaba, cambuí, and red propolis, suggesting potential therapeutic applications.
Key Points
The UAPFE-SE extract exhibited moderate antioxidant activity with an FRAP value of 394.0 µg Fe2+/mg, and cytotoxic inhibition of 82.3% against lung carcinoma cells.
Extraction yield was maximized at 16.2%, alongside high phenolic content of 24.1 µg/mg using sequential extraction with ethanol/water.
Mass spectrometry identified antiproliferative phenolic compounds in the extract, emphasizing its potential benefits against cancer.
The findings indicate that the combined extract's antioxidant properties and cytotoxic effects merit further investigation for therapeutic use.
