Abstract

Gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS) data showed the identification of eighteen volatile compounds in the chloroform extract of the sonchus oleraceus, among them two were found to be the major components 1,1-Diethoxypropan-2-ol 45.20% and Phytol 25.27%. The extract have a good antitumor activity against all tested cell lines under investigation. Also antioxidant activity measured by 1,1'-Diphenyl Picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical showed a relatively strong antioxidant scavenging affinity as compared to vitamin C.
