Abstract

Moringa oleifera (M. oleifera) has been considered as medicinal plant and food substance since ancient times. Nowadays various therapeutic effects of M. oleifera such as antimicrobial, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, and antioxidant effects have been successfully investigated. In this study, the main objective was to optimize M. oleifera leaf-methanol extraction using Design of Experiment (DoE) software with response surface methodology in terms of temperature and incubation time by sonication. The other objective was to investigate anti-cancer activity (breast cancer cell: MCF-7) by M. oleifera methanol extraction incorporation with microtitrate tetrazolium (MTT) assay. In this research, the optimum condition for leaf extraction was found to be temperature 50⁰ C and incubation time 45 min with medium frequency at sonication and it obtained 88.39% cancer cell growth inhibition by this condition. Extracted leaves inhibited MCF-7 cell line with 87.13% in average at wavelength A570nm.
