Our aim of this study was to do a detailed evaluation of Pandanus tectoriusthe antioxidant, antibacterial,phytochemical constituents and Disk diffusioncytotoxicity properties of Pandanustectorius, which in DPPH commonEnglish known as thatch screwpine or pandanus.MCF-7 cell lineThe fruit got a common name as Hala Fruit. DPPH (1,1- diphenyl-2- picrylhydrazyl) method,the most widely reported free radical scavenging activity was used to measure and determine the antioxidant activity. Disc diffusion method was used to measure the antibacterial activity and the cytotoxicity was measured by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-5-(3-carboxymethoxyphenyl)- 2-(4-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium(MTS). The result showed that seed extracts had a higher level of phenolics, while leaves extract possessed higher flavonoid content. Seed extracts showed the highest antioxidant activity, strong antibacterial activity, and no cytotoxic activity. Therefore looking at the test result, a clear inference can be drawn that Pandanustectorius seeds have excellent characteristics to act as an antibacterial and antioxidant agent.
