Plant-based drugs were used by ancient civilizations for treating various diseases. It is shown scientifically in recent studies that some remedies are effective. Acalypha indica Linn, is an annual shrub known in Malaysia as „Kucing Galak?. It is traditionally used by practitioner for wound-healing. In this study, Acalypha indica Linn aerial parts and roots were extracted using 30% ethanol. The extracts were standardized based on protein and polysaccharide content prior to further biochemical and cell tests. Aerial parts extract exhibited higher antioxidant ability compared to roots extract with IC50 of 62 µg/mL and 206 µg/mL, respectively. In cell studies, In vitro cytotoxicity was carried out on human skin fibroblast cells (HSF 1189).
