    Dimocarpus longan belongs to Sapindaceae which two varieties are found in Thailand. In addition to commercial longan (D. longan ssp. longan var. longan), in the eastern part of Thailand found another type of flora longan called Thao (D. longan ssp. longan var. obtusus). The total phenolic content and various biological activities was investigated including antioxidant, antibacterial, anti-tyrosinase and cytotoxic activities of the methanolic extracts from two varieties of these longan seeds. The results showed that the most activity of Edor (var. longan) seed extract presented higher biological activities than Thao (var. obtusus) seed extract. The total phenolic content by Folin-Ciocalteu method related to antioxidant activity in DPPH, ABTS and FRAP assays. In antibacterial activity using disc diffusion method both varieties of extracts (5 mg/disc) inhibited Staphylococcus aureus, Micrococcus luteus and Bacillus subtilis. However, in anti-tyrosinase activity by the dopachrome method Thao revealed similar activity to the commercial longan cultivar Edor with 50% inhibitory concentration (IC <inf>50</inf> ) values of 504.73 and 527.04 µg/ml, respectively. In cytotoxic activity using MTT assay with L929 (Mouse fibroblast cell line), Thao seed extracts were non-cytotoxic activity and stimulated skin cell lines, while Edor showed low cytotoxic activity. Therefore, their bioactive compounds should be studied further for developing longan seed extracts to cosmetic and pharmaceutical products in the future.

    The total phenolic content, antioxidant and cytotoxic activities of methanolic extracts from the petals and sepals of Mimusops elengi flowers were examined. The total phenolic content of methanolic extracts from petals and sepals using Folin-Ciocalteu method showed 49.32±3.04 and 93.36±3.58 mgGAE /g extract, respectively. The methanolic extract from sepals showed higher antioxidant activity than petals with IC <inf>50</inf> (50% inhibitory concentration) values in DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging assay of 98.20 and 236.13 μg/ml, respectively. In addition, Fe3+-TPTZ reduction in FRAP method was 63.11 mgAAE /g extract. Furthermore, MTT assay was applied to evaluate cytotoxic activity against eight cell lines. The sepals extract exhibited high cytotoxic activity against six cancerous cell lines: TK6, HeLa, HepG2, HT-29, MCF-7 and KB with CC <inf>50</inf> (50% cytotoxic concentration) values of 179.38, 379.06, 442.61, 500.66, 517.98 and 541.06 μg/ml, respectively. Nevertheless, the sepals extract exhibited cytotoxic activity against normal cell lines (L929 and Vero) with CC <inf>50</inf> of 493.96 and 413.69 μg/ml. The results suggested that methanolic extract from sepals of M. elengi flowers revealed high antioxidant and cytotoxic activities. Further studies are needed to evaluate the constituent of bioactive compounds that beneficial for medicinal and cosmetic applications.
