Objective: The present study was designed to evaluate methanol extract of Tephrosia villosa for anticancer against cancer and normal cells and also determine its antioxidant properties. Methods: The methanol extract of Tephrosia villosa was prepared using sox-let apparatus. The methanol extract was evaluated for its in-vitro anticancer potentials against human Vero (normal) MCF-7 (breast), HCT-116 (colon), liver (HEP-G2) and A-549 (lung) cancer cell lines by MTT assay and concentration of the methanol extract required to inhibit 50% of cell growth (IC50) was recorded. To determine antioxidant properties of the extract, Superoxide scavenging, Lipid peroxidation and DPPH methods were used and IC50 values of extracts were noted. Results:
