Abstract

Slender amaranth (Amaranthus lividus L.) is a popular plant in Gia Lai Province, with anti-cancer, antioxidant and  antibacterial properties. The study presents the experimental results of biological activity of Amaranthus lividus L. collected in Gia Lai Province. Evaluation of anti-tumor activity (IC50) showed good results with EtOAc and n–hexane with extracts of 8.0 µg/ml and 11.2 µg/ml (≤ 20 µg/ml, NCI) respectively. The comparison results showed that the EtOAc extract from Amaranthus lividus L. has better antibacterial activity than the MeOH extract. However, the investigated extracts from Amaranthus lividus L. were incapable of inhibiting oxidation at low concentrations of 1-64 µg/ml. Results of biologically active ingredients in Amaranthus lividus L. illustrated
the applied prospects of natural medicine sources.
