Antioxidant Potential and Antitumour Activities of Nendran Banana Peels in Breast Cancer Cell Line
Open accessAbstract
The present study was aimed to evaluate the antioxidant and antitumor activities of the aqueous methanol extract of Nendran banana peel as a valuable source for bioactive compounds against cancer. Free radical scavenging activity of the peel extracts was evaluated using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl and ferric reducing antioxidant power assay. The antitumor activity on MCF-7 breast cancer cell line was determined by the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide and ethidium bromide/acridine orange staining assay. Extract of banana peel was more efficient in reducing ferric ion with the increase in concentration and exhibited IC50 180.33 µg/ml, free radical inhibition activity under 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl hydrate assay. Flavonoid content was high (51.47 µg/ml) in the peel extract, which could have contributed to the antioxidant activity. The antioxidant enzyme concentration such as ascorbate peroxidase, catalase, peroxidase and superoxide dismutase were found higher in the fruit pulp than peel. As the concentration of extract increased from 20 to 200 μg/ml, the cell viability of MCF-7 decreased from 91.14 to 24.7%. The IC50 values of plant extract-treated cells (120.6 μg/ml) showed typical apoptotic and necrotic morphological features such as condensed nuclei, membrane blebbing and formation of apoptotic bodies. This indicated the efficiency of sample against breast cancer with the highest inhibition of growth.

Bioactive compounds present in banana peel are used for the prevention of cancer.
“Bioactive compounds present in banana peel are used for the prevention of cancer.”
From Bioactive, antioxidant, industrial, and nutraceutical applications of banana peel (2023) · cites this paper as [32]
The paper says banana peels contain bioactive compounds (Abstract, page unavailable), and its Results and Discussion report that Nendran peel extract suppressed proliferation of MCF-7 breast cancer cells. It describes this as anticancer potential, not evidence that banana-peel compounds are used to prevent cancer in people. (LLM, conf=0.87)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredCell viability of MCF-7 reduced from 91.14% to 24.7% when Nendran variety of banana peel extract concentration increased from 20 to 200 g/ml.
“Cell viability of MCF-7 reduced from 91.14% to 24.7% when Nendran variety of banana peel extract concentration increased from 20 to 200 g/ml.[32]”
From Bioactive, antioxidant, industrial, and nutraceutical applications of banana peel (2023) · cites this paper as [32]
The Results and Discussion section (Table 5; page not provided) reports that MCF-7 cell viability fell from 91.14% to 24.7% as Nendran peel extract concentration rose from 20 to 200 μg/ml. The citing sentence gives the concentrations in g/ml instead, so its units are not supported. (LLM, conf=0.94)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
