Plants are an excellent source of compounds with biological activity. Since plants have been used in traditional medicine for a long time and also some plant substances have shown cytotoxic, anticoagulant and antiplatelet activity, they have been extensively studied. The present study focusses on antioxidant activity and cytotoxic potentials of ethanolic extract from K. africana. The results showed at 1μg/mL concentration the aqueous fruit extracts of K. africana showed best result. In cytotoxic studies at 24 hours, 50μg/mL concentration the number of dividing cells was found to be 63 and mitotic index was found to be 118 and it showed the best result compared to other concentration.
