found in India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. Guggul gum resin has been used to
treat various diseases including cancer, atherosclerosis, rheumatism and
obesity. The crude extracts obtained from the resin of Commiphoramukul in
different solvents like ethyl acetate, methanol, acetone, and hexane were
analyzed for phytochemical study. Secondary metabolites steroids, quinines, gum
and mucilage, fixed oil and fats were found in all the four different extracts
of Commiphoramukul however, oxalate and alkaloids were not found in any
extract. Ethyl acetate, methanol, acetone, and hexane extracts from
method-1(soxhlet) and method2 (cold) were tested for their ability to scavenge
DPPH radical. Ethyl acetate extracts exhibited higher antioxidant activity
(45.56%) compared to other solvent extracts. Various concentration of
Commiphoramukul plant resin extract were used for MTT assay and highest %
inhibition/Cytotoxicity (75.68 %) was found by methanol soxhlet extract having
lowest IC50 value (58.5µg/ml). - See more at
