In the present study phytochemical analysis and anticancer activity of Misopates orontium L. and Dicliptera bupleuroides Nees was carried out. Methanolic extracts of M. orontium and D. bupleuroides were selected for phytochemical analysis. The present analysis showed the presence of phytochemical such as carbohydrates, proteins, tannins, glycosides, alkaloids, saponins, phenols and flavonoids in M. orontium and D. bupleuroides. Anticancer assays including MTT, Alamar Blue (AB), Neutral Red (NR) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) were employed on whole herb methanolic extract and all other fractions of both plants to calculate the % age of cell viability and cell cytotoxicity. The percentage of cell viability was highly significant in all anticancer assays for all fractions. Therefore, ethyl acetate and aqueous fractions showed the excellent profile in evaluation of cytotoxicity in each assay. All above findings indicated that the whole herb of both selected plants have strong anticancer activity.
