Background: Euonymus alatus (E. alatus) has traditionally been used for medicinal purposes, and its leaves are considered edible. While E. is known diverse biological activities, the antioxidant, antidiabetic, anticancer effects of extracted using different solvents have not thoroughly investigated. Methods: This study examined anticancer, life-prolonging leaf extract. Results: The phytochemical analysis showed that ethanol extract contained highest levels polyphenols (347.2 mg/mL) flavonoids (317.7 compared to water methanol extracts. In addition, specific phenolics, such as rutin, ellagic acid, quercetin, were found in Antioxidant assays exhibited superior DPPH, ABTS radical, H2O2-scavenging well reducing power. displayed strong α-glucosidase inhibitory activity a dose-dependent manner. cancer cell studies, selectively inhibited proliferation MDA-MB-231 (breast) LNCaP (prostate) cells without affecting normal cells. Apoptosis induction was confirmed by nuclear condensation increased caspase-3 activity. Furthermore, treatment with 30 mg/kg/day extended lifespan tumor-bearing mice 50 days, no fatalities, indicating protective effect. Conclusions: potential an agent.
