Banana tree being one of the most economically important tree worldwide is cut once the fruits are harvested. However other parts of the tree are used in medicine worldwide. In this study, the flower extract of Musa acuminatais extracted by maceration with methanol and the phenolic and aliphatic compounds present in the flower extract is identified using GC-MS analysis. Phytochemical screening of the banana extract showed the presence of alkaloids, phlobatanning, triterpanoids, flavanoids, lipids, steroids and terpenoids. Potent antibacterial activity is observed from the flower extract against the tested gram positive and negative bacteria. Anticancer activity of the flower extract is assessed on the cervical cancer cell line HeLa. MTT assay is used to evaluate the antiproliferative effects. This study concluded that the economically important Musa acuminatais widely used in anticancer studies worldwide.

Abstract


Banana tree being one of the most economically important tree worldwide is cut once the fruits are harvested. However other parts of the tree are used in medicine worldwide. In this study, the flower extract of Musa acuminatais extracted by maceration with methanol and the phenolic and aliphatic compounds present in the flower extract is identified using GC-MS analysis. Phytochemical screening of the banana extract showed the presence of alkaloids, phlobatanning, triterpanoids, flavanoids, lipids, steroids and terpenoids. Potent antibacterial activity is observed from the flower extract against the tested gram positive and negative bacteria. Anticancer activity of the flower extract is assessed on the cervical cancer cell line HeLa. MTT assay is used to evaluate the antiproliferative effects. This study concluded that the economically important Musa acuminatais widely used in anticancer studies worldwide.
