This study examines the anti-proliferative activity of &lt;em&gt;T. carpentariae&lt;/em&gt; leaf and &lt;em&gt;T.&lt;/em&gt; &lt;em&gt;grandiflora&lt;/em&gt; leaf, fruit and nut extracts against Caco-2 and HeLa carcinoma proliferation. Materials and Methods: Powdered &lt;em&gt;T. carpentariae&lt;/em&gt; leaf and T.&lt;em&gt; grandiflora&lt;/em&gt; leaf, fruit and nut were extracted and tested for anti-proliferative activity against Caco-2 and HeLa cancer cell lines using colorimetric cell proliferation assays. Toxicity was evaluated using an Artemia franciscana nauplii bioassay. The extract with the most potent anti-proliferative activity was examined using GCMS analysis and triterpenoid compounds were identified by comparison with a compound database. Results: &lt;em&gt;T. carpentariae&lt;/em&gt; leaf and T. &lt;em&gt;grandiflora &lt;/em&gt;leaf, fruit and nut extracts displayed potent anti-proliferative activity against Caco-2 and HeLa carcinoma cells. The &lt;em&gt;methanolic T. grandiflora &lt;/em&gt;leaf extract was particularly effective at blocking the proliferation of the colorectal carcinoma Caco-2 (IC50 = 372 &amp;mu;g/mL). The methanol &lt;em&gt;T. carpentariae &lt;/em&gt;and &lt;em&gt;T.&lt;/em&gt; &lt;em&gt;grandiflora&lt;/em&gt; leaf extracts were similarly potent inhibitors of HeLa cervical cancer cell proliferation with IC50 values of 864 and 833 &amp;mu;g/mL respectively. The methanolic T. &lt;em&gt;grandiflora&lt;/em&gt; fruit and nut extracts, as well as all aqueous and ethyl acetate extracts, were moderate to good inhibitors of carcinoma proliferation. In contrast, chloroform and hexane extracts were generally devoid of anti-proliferative activity. The&lt;em&gt; methanolic T.&lt;/em&gt; &lt;em&gt;grandiflora&lt;/em&gt; extracts displayed low toxicity in the Artemia nauplii bioassay. All other extracts were non-toxic. GC-MS analysis of the methanolic T. &lt;em&gt;grandiflora&lt;/em&gt; leaf extract identified 3 lanostane and 2 pentacyclic triterpenoids. Conclusion: The low toxicity and anti-proliferative activity observed with the &lt;em&gt;T. carpentariae &lt;/em&gt;and T. &lt;em&gt;grandiflora&lt;/em&gt; extracts against Caco-2 and HeLa indicate their potential for the prevention and treatment of some cancers.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original Article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">441</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Reece Courtney&lt;sup&gt;1,2&lt;/sup&gt;, J.

If untreated, it often results in mortality. Many &lt;em&gt;Terminalia &lt;/em&gt;spp. have documented therapeutic properties as general antiseptics, inhibiting the growth of a wide variety of bacterial species. This study examines the ability of selected Australian &lt;em&gt;Terminalia&lt;/em&gt; spp. extracts to inhibit &lt;em&gt;B. anthracis &lt;/em&gt;growth. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;Solvent extracts were prepared from &lt;em&gt;Terminalia carpentariae&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Terminalia grandiflora &lt;/em&gt;plant material and investigated by disc diffusion assay for the ability to inhibit the growth of an environmental strain of &lt;em&gt;B. anthracis&lt;/em&gt;. Their MIC values were determined to quantify and compare their efficacies. Toxicity was determined using the &lt;em&gt;Artemia franciscana&lt;/em&gt; nauplii bioassay. The most potent extracts were analysed by GC-MS headspace analysis. &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;T. carpentariae&lt;/em&gt; and&lt;em&gt; T. grandiflora &lt;/em&gt;leaf, fruit and nut solvent extractions displayed good growth inhibitory activity against &lt;em&gt;B. anthracis&lt;/em&gt;. Methanolic &lt;em&gt;T. Carpentariae &lt;/em&gt;leaf and &lt;em&gt;T. grandiflora&lt;/em&gt; nut extracts were particularly potent growth inhibitors, with MIC values of 74 and 155 &amp;micro;g/mL respectively. The &lt;em&gt;T. carpentariae&lt;/em&gt; leaf ethyl acetate extract was also a good inhibitor of &lt;em&gt;B. anthracis&lt;/em&gt; growth (MIC 340 &amp;micro;g/mL). All other extracts were substantially less potent growth inhibitors. Interestingly, the&lt;em&gt; T. Carpentariae &lt;/em&gt;leaf extracts with growth inhibitory activity were nontoxic in the &lt;em&gt;Artemia fransiscana&lt;/em&gt; bioassay, with LC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; values &amp;gt;1000 &amp;micro;g/mL. In contrast, the LC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; value 740 &amp;micro;g/mL reported for the methanolic &lt;em&gt;T. grandiflora &lt;/em&gt;nut extract indicates low-moderate toxicity. Non-biased GC-MS phytochemical analysis of the most active extracts (methanolic &lt;em&gt;T. carpentariae&lt;/em&gt; leaf and &lt;em&gt;T. grandiflora&lt;/em&gt; nut) putatively identified and highlighted several compounds that may contribute to the ability of these extracts to inhibit the growth of &lt;em&gt;B. anthracis&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;strong&gt; Conclusions: &lt;/strong&gt;The growth inhibitory activity of the methanolic &lt;em&gt;T. Carpentariae &lt;/em&gt;leaf and &lt;em&gt;T. grandiflora &lt;/em&gt;nutextracts against &lt;em&gt;B&lt;/em&gt;. &lt;em&gt;anthracis&lt;/em&gt; indicates their potential for the treatment and prevention of anthrax. Furthermore, thelack toxicity of the &lt;em&gt;T. Carpentariae &lt;/em&gt;leaf and the low-moderate toxicity of the &lt;em&gt;T. grandiflora &lt;/em&gt;nut extract, indicates that their use may extend to all forms of the disease (cutaneous, inhalation or gastrointestinal).&lt;/p&gt;
