However, no study has been conducted to relate the cytotoxic properties against nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), a type of cancer that shows poor prognosis for metastatic disease. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the &lt;em&gt;E. longifolia&lt;/em&gt; root extract exerts cytotoxic activity against nasopharyngeal carcinoma (ORL-115) cell lines. &lt;strong&gt;Materials and Method: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;E. longifolia&lt;/em&gt; root extracts were obtained through Soxhlet extraction method and by using two different solvents; ethanol and dicholoromethane. MTS assay was used to evaluate the cytotoxic effect of the root extracts against ORL-115 cell line for three different incubation time which were 24-hour, 48-hour and 72-hour. &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;Ethanol extract was significantly more potent compared to DCM extract. Ethanol extract exhibited lower IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; value compared to DCM extract. The IC&lt;sub&gt;50 &lt;/sub&gt;of ethanol extract were 232.1 μg/ml, 66.86 μg/ml and 42.6 μg/ml. Meanwhile the IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; of DCM extract were 678.87 μg/ml, 136.71 μg/ml, 73.72 μg/ml for 24-hour, 48-hour and 72-hour incubation period respectively. The cytotoxic activity of both extracts increased as the incubation time prolonged. The cytotoxic activity of ethanol extract at each incubation time was significantly different from DCM extract except at 72 hours. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;E. longifolia&lt;/em&gt; root extracts exerted cytotoxic activity against the nasopharyngeal carcinoma (ORL-115) cell line. Ethanol extract exhibited lower IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; value compared to DCM extract. The cytotoxic activity of both extracts were dose dependent and time dependent.&lt;/p&gt;

Many chemical compounds have been detected in extracts of its roots which are believed to be responsible for its medicinal properties. In this study, our objectives were to study the effects of EL root extracts on the growth of &lt;em&gt;Streptococcus Mutans, Lactobacillus&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Candida Albicans &lt;/em&gt;isolated from saliva of adult patients with high caries risk. &lt;strong&gt;Materials and Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;The ethanolic extract of the root of this plant was tested against saliva isolated &lt;em&gt;Streptococcus Mutans, Lactobacillus&lt;/em&gt; and&lt;em&gt; Candida Albicans&lt;/em&gt; via disc diffusion assay at a concentration of 200mg/mL. The minimum inhibitory concentration was carried out by the standard broth microdilution method. Cell viability of test microorganisms against different concentration of the extract and inhibition zones were calculated.&lt;strong&gt; Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Disk diffusion assay showed positive zones of inhibition for all test microorganisms with &lt;em&gt;S. mutans, Lactobacillus &lt;/em&gt;and &lt;em&gt;C. albicans&lt;/em&gt; exhibiting zones of inhibition of 8.3 ± 0.7mm, 12.4 ± 2.4mm and 21.4 ± 2.7mm respectively. For minimum inhibitory concentration, the test microorganisms were tested at concentration of 250mg/ mL, 125mg/mL, 62.5mg/mL, 31.3mg/mL and 0mg/mL. The minimum inhibitory concentration showed that MIC of S. mutans was at 62.5mg/mL, Lactobacillus at 125mg/mL and C. albicans at 31.3mg/mL. Lastly, the cell viability results supported the MIC determined prior. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; Ethanol-based &lt;em&gt;E.&lt;/em&gt; &lt;em&gt;longifolia Jack&lt;/em&gt; root extract has an antimicrobial effect on the following microorganisms isolated from the saliva of high-risk caries adult patients: &lt;em&gt;S. mutans, Lactobacillus&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;C. albicans.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
