Abstract
Anticancer drugs are primarily aimed at inhibiting the growth andproliferation of cancer cells. The soursop plant (Annona squamosa L.) has thepotential to be developed as an anticancer drug. This plant contains severalactive compounds including flavonoids, borneol, camphor, alkaloids, terpenes,saponins, tannins, polyphenols and polyketide compounds. This study wasconducted to assess the efficacy of the polar fraction of soursop leaves oncytotoxic activity based on the IC₅₀ value in T47D cells. This research isexperimental in vitro study using cell line T47D. The methanol fraction ofsoursop leaves was diluted with DMSO and DMEM to obtain a concentration of500; 250; 125; 62.5; 31.25 µg/ mL cisplatin with a concentration of 50:25:12,5:6,25:3,125 µg/mL. The methanol fraction of soursop from the highestconcentration of 500 µg/ml has average viability of 46.77% and the averagepercentage of viability will increase in proportion to the decrease in theconcentration of the test compound. The IC50 value shows the concentrationvalue that results in the inhibition of cell proliferation by 50% of the population.In conclusion, methanol fraction of soursop leaves have an anticytotoxic effecton T47D cell line through the role of flavonoid metabolites.
