ancer is a leading cause of death worldwide. According to WHO reports, more than 8.8 million deaths were recorded in

2015. Resistance on chemotherapeutic drugs has threaten the achievements of modern medicine. e extracts of the plant

sources are rich in phytochemicals and they are proven to have promising bioactivities. erefore, searching for new natural

inhibitors is felt to be paramount to nd broader range and novel products for the treatment of cancers with minimal side

e ects. In the current study,

Ziziphus spina-christi

Ziziphus spina-christi

Asafoetida

Ajwa Medina

Liquorice Root Powder

(roots)

chamomile ower

(leaves),

Bulk Herbs yme

(leaves) and

marigold owers calendula

(leaves) were collected from Saudi Arabia and United Kingdom in 2017. e dried plant samples were macerated and extracted

using methanol. e resulting crude extracts were tested for their anti-proliferative activity against Hep G2 (hepatocellular

carcinoma) cancer cell line using MTT assay. e total crude extracts of all the tested samples showed more than 70% cytotoxic

activity while,

Asafoetida crude

showed 98%, cytotoxic activity at 50 g/mL concentration. To identify the phytochemicals

present in the active extracts of these plants, chemical pro ling using GCMS and LC-HRESIMS are underway.
