(nutmeg) bark using n-hexane extract based on DPPH radical scavenging and microculture tetrazolium salt (MTT) assay. The chemical structural analysis using NMR, FTIR, and LC-MS spectroscopy confirmed and identified the structure of isolated compound namely (2E)-5(2z.4E)-hexa-2,4,-dio-zyl)-2propylcyclohexanol (C<sub>18</sub>H<sub>30</sub>O<sub>4</sub>) for the first time which is corresponding for the excellent antioxidant and anticancer activity against MCF-7 cell lines with the IC<sub>50</sub> value of 99.76 and 10.75 ppm, respectively.</p>
