The purpose of this work is to evaluate antiprolifertive and DPPH radical scavenging activities of aqueous extracts from Morinda lucida Smith, Klainedoxa gabonensis Pierre ex Engl, Tephrosia vogelii Hook f and Nauclea latifolia Sm. The antiproliferative activity of the aqueous extract of each of the four species was evaluated in vitro on a cancer cell line (U87-MG) and a normal cell line (Hek-293) using the MTT assay. The antiradicalar activity was evaluated by measuring the scavenger capacity of the DPPH radical. Phytochemical analyzes of the extract were performed by thin layer chromatography and HPLC-PDA. The aqueous extracts of Klainedoxa gabonenis and Tephrosia vogelii showed antiproliferative activity against U87-MG cancer cells with IC50 values below 90 μg / ml. The aqueous extract of Klainedoxa gabonenis also showed remarkable antiradical activity (IC50 = 4± 0,73 μg/ml). In addition, the treatment of U87-MG cancer cells by both the aqueous extract of Klainedoxa gabonensis (100 μg / ml) and by an MEK protein inhibitor (1 μM) causes a total suppression of U87-cell proliferation. MG (glioblastoma). HPLC-PDA analysis of the aqueous extract Klainedoxa gabonenis showed the presence of gallic acid compounds (41.9%) and Quercetin (2.17%).: Our study identified two medicinal plants with antiproliferative properties among the four Congolese herbal medicines evaluated, one with both anti-proliferative and antiradical properties.
