The plant we researched is a lime (limoo amani, noomi basra) plant of the genus Citrus which is belong to Rutaceae family. In
addition to the absence of research in our country about this plant, there is no data about its use. The Lime plant we researched was
obtained from Kirkuk, Iraq. It is aimed to make the determination of the activity of extracts obtained from the plant and to determine
the effect of them. The scientific researches performed in this research are as follows: Dried fruits were powdered and then extracted
with 70% methanol, ethanol and water in the shaker at room temperature. 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH●
) radical scavenging
effect determination, 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonicacid) (ABTS+●) radical scavenging effect determination, βcarotene / linoleic acid oxidation inhibitory effect determination, A 549, MCF 7 and L929 cell lines cytotoxicity tests were
performed. As a result of these tests, Lime had moderate antioxidant activity and weak cytotoxic activity.
