This study examined the antioxidant activities and cytotoxicity extracts of aqueous extracts of Eugenia polyantha and Dillenia suffruticosa. E. polyantha possessed high phenolic contents (6.62mg GAE/ 100mg) and also high antioxidant activity as determined using DPPH (EC50 = 60.9 mg/L) and ABTS (EC50 = 24.2 mg/L) assays. Furthermore, E. polyantha was able to reduce the NPC/HK1 cancer cell viability (IC50 = 61.5 mg/L) while D. suffruticosa was able to prevent the cell migration at 72 mg/L (IC25 value) after 24h of incubation.
