Prunus mume is well known contain many functional materials that play beneficial roles in the human body. Studies have found that many organic acids and polyphenol compounds exist in Prunus mume. In this study, content of total polyphenols and flavonoids, antioxidative activity and cytotoxicity of ethanol extract from Prunus mume were measured Contents of total polyphenolic and total flavonoid compounds in ethanol extract from Prunus mume were 16.92 mg/g and 59.95 mg/g, respectively. The $IC_{50}$ of ethanol extract from Prunus mume were $237.72 {mu}g$/assay and $239.58 {mu}g$/assay by DPPH and ABTS radical cation scavenging test, respectively. Additionally, ferric ion reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) value of ethanol extract from Prunus mume was 0.94 mM ($FeSO_4$ eq.) by $800 {mu}g$/assay. Cytotoxicity of Prunus mume against five kinds of cancer cell lines increased as the extract concentration increased Especially, cytotoxicity of the ethanol extract against A-549 (lung cancer line) was higher than that against any other cancer cell line by both MTT and SRB assay. These results show that ethanol extract of Prunus mume has considerably high antioxidative and cytotoxic activities.
