Himalyan bayberry (Myrica esculenta) fruit in Indian Himalayan region was evaluated for total polyphenol contents, antioxidant, and anticancer activities in 4 different solvent systems namely 80% each of methanol, acidicmethanol, acetone, and acidic-acetone to ensure the optimum recovery. Himalyan bayberry acidic-acetone (MeAA) extracts showed highest recovery of phenolics, flavonoids, freeradical scavenging, and ferric-reducing activities followed by acetone (MeA), acidic-methanol (MeAM), and methanol (MeM) extracts. Both MeA and MeAA extracts showed potent anticancer activities leading to 70-92% reduction in the viability of C33A, SiHa, and HeLa cells while exhibiting no cytotoxicity towards normal transformed cell lines. The RP-HPLC analysis revealed abundance of gallic acid [793.74 mg/100 g of fruit weight (f.w.) in MeA], myricetin (345.6 mg/100 g f.w. in MeAA), caffeic acid (246.6 mg/100 g f.w. in MeM), catechin (190.181 mg/100 g f.w. in MeAA) while traces of chlorogenic acid (17.67 mg/100 g f.w. in MeAA), transcinnamic acid (5.91 mg/100 g f.w. in MeA), p-coumaric acid (5.84 mg/100 g f.w. in MeA), and ellagic acid (2.21 mg/100 g f.w. in MeA) corroborating the high antioxidant and anticancer activities of Himalyan bayberry fruit extracts.
