The obtained results showed that the methanol extract of <em>A.</em><em> incarnata</em> exhibited the strongest cytotoxic activity against all five tested cancer cell lines with IC<sub>50</sub> values ​​ranging from 5.26 to 8.46 mg/ml, and resisted <em>A. niger</em> with the MIC value 200 mg/ml. The methanol extracts of <em>A.</em><em> balansana</em>, <em>A.</em><em> caudata</em>, <em>A.</em><em> insularis</em>, <em>A.</em><em> pseudocrispa</em>, <em>A.</em><em> splendens</em> have moderate cytotoxic and antimicrobial activities. The methanol extracts of <em>A. </em><em>m</em><em>aculosa</em>, <em>A. </em><em>t</em><em>sangii</em>, <em>A.</em><em> primulifolia</em> did not show cytotoxic and antimicrobial activities.</p> ER -
