Resumo

HUMAN TUMOR CELLS.Arrabidaea chica (H&B) Verlot is a plant popularly known as Pariri and this species is a known source of anthocyanins, flavonoids and tannins.This report describes an approach involving enzymatic treatment prior to extraction procedures to enhance A chica crude extract anticancer activity.Anticancer activity in human cancer cell lines in vitro using a 48 h SRB cell viability assay was performed to determine growth inhibition and cytotoxic properties.The final extraction yield without enzyme treatment was higher (24.28%) compared to the enzyme-treated material (19.03%), with an enhanced aglycones anthocyanin ratio as determined by HPLC-DAD and LC-MS with direct infusion.
