Abstract
Temukut or brewers rice is a mixture of broken rice rice bran and rice germ. Extensive studies have been conducted on rice bran which possesses various health benefits. Temukut however has been less well studied. The present study aimed to investigate the antioxidant and growth inhibition properties of temukut extract using colon cancer (HT-29) ovary cancer (Caov-3) and liver cancer (HepG2) cell lines. The antioxidant activity was determined by the -carotene bleaching assay analysis of the DPPH radical scavenging capacity and a FRAP assay. The total phenolic compounds oryzanol vitamin E and phytic acid levels in temukut were also investigated. The antiproliferative activity was evaluated using the 3-(4 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. There was a significant difference in the cytotoxicity of two types of temukut extract (water and methanol) for HT-29 and Caov-3 cells (p 0.05) but not for HepG2 cells. The HepG2 cell line is the least sensitive to temukut (IC50 55.30 g/mL) whereas the highest sensitivity was observed in Caov-3 cells (IC50 36.67 g/mL). No cytotoxic effect of temukut was observed on normal cells (BalBlc3T3). Although the content of the phytochemicals studied (total phenolic compounds vitamin E oryzanol and phytic acid) in temukut was lower than that in rice bran as has been previously reported the present study demonstrated temukuts potential to inhibit the proliferation of HT-29 Caov-3 and HepG2 cells.
