Abstract
Cholangiocarcinoma is a serious problem of public health in the northeastern region of Thailand. Cancer therapies have many
side effects to healthy cells and tissues. Therefore, new anticancer agents are identified from natural resources to decrease
side effects and increase the potential of cancer treatments. Ripe wild mango fruit extract which called 6A* was determined
the cytotoxic effect in cholangiocarcinoma MO55 cells and a normal epithelial cell of the bile duct MMNK1 cells by using
MTT assay. The extract was analyzed total phenolic contents and total flavonoid contents, including screened phytochemical
types. In this study, 6A* displayed cytotoxicity in MO55 cells (IC50 0.40 mg/mL) and low cytotoxicity against MMNK1
cells (IC50 2.70 mg/mL). The total phenolic contents and total flavonoid contents of 6A* were 192.14 ± 30.69 mg GAE/g
extract, and 73.13 ± 6.34 mg QT/g extract, respectively. The study also found that phytochemicals in 6A* contained tannin,
gallic acid, flavonoids, terpenoids, and cardiac glycoside. These molecules could be developed as the new anticancer drugs or
cancer prevention agents for treatment cholangiocarcinoma in the future
