Grover, Madhuri published the artcilePhytochemical Screening, antioxidant Assay and Cytotoxic Profile for Different Extracts of Chrysopogon zizanioides Roots, Product Details of C4H6O3, the publication is Chemistry & Biodiversity (2021), 18(8), e2100012, database is CAplus and MEDLINE.

The Chrysopogon zizanioides plant possesses multiple traditional uses, especially in therapeutics, but only a few articles have reported its biol. activity. Hence, the present study was planned to explore the phytochem. constituents, cytotoxic potential, radical scavenging activity, and GC/MS (Gas chromatog. & Mass spectrometry) anal. of the vetiver root extracts The roots extracted with different solvents exhibited more significant phytochem. constituents in polar solvents in comparison to non-polar ones, favoring the extraction of a greater number of components in highly polar solvents. All the extracts were tested for their cytotoxicity using SRB (Sulforhodamine B) assay. They confirmed ethanolic extract as a potent extract with GI50 56±0.5 μg/mL in oral cancer (SCC-29B) along with no cytotoxicity in healthy cells (Vero cells), making it a safer therapeutic option in comparison to standard Adriamycin. This extract was also analyzed for its antioxidant potential by DPPH (1,1-Diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) assay with IC50 value 10.73 μg/mL, which was quite comparable to Ascorbic acid having IC50 value 4.61 μg/mL. The quant. anal. of ethanolic extract exhibited 107 compounds amongst which Khusenic acid, Ascorbic acid, Junipen, gamma-Himachalene, alpha-Guaiene were the majorly occurring compounds that can be explored further for their cytotoxic activity.
