                 Rationale: Thai medicinal recipes for cancer treatment have been recorded and used over hundreds years
             ago. From our previous studies, four recipes have shown potent anti-proliferative activity against cancer cell
             lines (KB, HepG2, HT-29, HeLa). Hence, the study of single plant will be beneficial for the investigation of single
             compound for further development of novel anti-cancer drug.
                 Objective: To evaluate the anti-proliferative activity of the methanol extracts of 23 plants from 4 Thai
             medicinal plant recipes in human cancer cell lines.
                 Methodology: Fifty grams of powdered and dried plant were extracted with methanol under reflux. The
             solutions were evaporated and dried. Phytochemical screening was carried out on all extracts using standard
             procedures to identify the constituents (alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, terpenoids, steroids, saponins, anthraquino-
             nes). Anti-proliferative activities of each extracts were assayed by sulforhodamine B (SRB) method in human
             mouth epidermal carcinoma (KB), hepatoma (HepG2) and colon adenocarcinoma (HT-29) cervical adenocarci-
             noma (HeLa) cell lines.
                 Results: Twenty three plants were selected from 4 medicinal plant recipes. Almost all of methanol ex-
             tracts of these plants were positive for steroids and terpenoids. Gloriosa superba L. extract showed the highest
             activity among the 23 plants which was about 100 folds of cisplatin, anti-cancer drug (IC  = 4.5 (KB), 26.4
                                                                                               50
             (HepG2), 48.4 (HT-29), 5.5 (HeLa) μg/ml) in KB cell line. The extracts which showed active anti-proliferative
             activities with IC  values less than 20 μg/ml in 4 cell lines were as follows (the following fold showed active for
                            50
             cisplatin): In KB cell lines, Albizia chinensis (Osbeck) Merr. (wood, Thai name; Kang Luang, Leguminosae-

                 Conclusion: Several plants selected from Thai medicinal plants recipe database MANOSROI II showed
                                                                            5

             HT-29, and HeLa cell lines respectively. This study confirmed the use of these plants in traditional medicine and
             the potential for further development to modern anti-cancer drugs.
