Abstract
The results showed that propolis trigona has high content of flavonoids, vitamin C and β-carotene compounds. Therefore, the whole exploration effort of propolis properties becomes an important study and research especially anticancer activity of lung cancer. Trigona propolis samples which is used are from Indonesian beekeepers. Lung anticancer activity was measured by MTT method (3- (4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl) -2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) on A549 cell. The results showed the inhibition of A549 lung cancer cell by trigona propolis is higher with increasing concentration (0.625 to 100 ppm). The results of phytochemical analysis showed that the trigona propolis samples contained alkaloids, flavonoids, quinones and tannins. In addition, trigona propolis has the ability to inhibit A549 cells of 78.21 ± 0.02% at 100 ppm concentration. This inhibitory ability is higher in line with the increase in sample concentration. Therefore, Indonesian trigona propolis has potential as a lung anticancer.
